K. Kuriyama et al., CHARACTERIZATION OF POROUS GAP BY PHOTOACOUSTIC-SPECTROSCOPY - THE RELATION BETWEEN BAND-GAP WIDENING AND VISIBLE PHOTOLUMINESCENCE, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 58(3), 1998, pp. 1103-1105
Photoacoustic and Raman spectroscopy as well as photoluminescence (PL)
measurements have been used to investigate the effect of band-gap wid
ening in porous GaP. A correlation between a blueshift of the absorpti
on I edge observed during photoacoustic measurements, accompanied by P
L emissions in the blue and ultraviolet regions, and the occurance of
a vibrational mode related to surface phonons is shown. Based on a sim
ple scattering model, the structure of porous Gap is assumed to have a
cylinderlike shape. [S0163-1829(98)07727-3].
