Gk. Safaraliev et al., Transformation of luminescence centers in (SiC)(0.95)(AlN)(0.05) epitaxiallayers under laser irradiation, INORG MATER, 36(10), 2000, pp. 1018-1019
The effect of laser irradiation on the photoluminescence of (SiC)(0.95)(AlN
)(0.05) epitaxial films was studied. irradiation was found to dislodge Al a
nd N atoms from their substitutional sites, producing radiative donor-accep
tor pairs Al-Si-N-C. The average pair separation decreases with increasing
irradiation time, as evidenced by the shift of the corresponding emission t
o higher energies.
