Abstract
We have observed strong blue emission at room temperature from arsenic dope d GaN samples grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Similar results were obtaine d for samples doped with both arsenic dimers and tetramers. The origin of t his blue emission is discussed and a growth model proposed to account for o ur observations. We propose that arsenic doped GaN may be a suitable replac ement for (InGa)N as the active region for blue light emitting devices. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
