Abstract A comprehensive study of surface passivation effect on porous fluorescent silicon carbide (SiC) was carried out to elucidate the luminescence properties by temperature dependent photoluminescence (PL) measurement. The porous structures were prepared using an anodic oxidation etching method and passivated by atomic layer deposited (ALD) Al2O3 films. An impressive enhancement of PL intensity was observed in porous SiC with ALD Al2O3, especially at low temperatures. At temperatures below 150 K, two prominent PL emission peaks located at 517 nm and 650 nm were observed. The broad emission peak at 517 nm was attributed to originate from the surface states in the porous structures, which was supported by X-ray photoelectron spectra characterization. The emission peak at 650 nm is due to donor-acceptor-pairs (DAP) recombination via nitrogen donors and boron-related double D-centers in fluorescent SiC substrates. The results of the present work suggest that the ALD Al2O3 films can effectively suppress the non-radiative recombination for the porous structures on fluorescent SiC. In addition, we provide the evidence based on the low-temperature time-resolved PL that the mechanism behind the PL emission in porous structures is mainly related to the transitions via surface states.

Temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy is carried out to probe radiative recombination and related light emission processes in two-dimensional periodic close-packed nanopore arrays in gallium nitride (np-GaN). The arrays were produced by nonlithographic nanopatterning of wurtzite GaN followed by a dry etching. The results of Raman spectroscopy point to a small relaxation of the compressive stress of ~0.24 GPa in nanoporous vs. bulk GaN. At ~300 K, the PL emission is induced by excitons and not free-carrier interband radiative recombinations. An evolution of the emission spectra with T is confirmed to be mainly a result of a decay of nonexcitonic PL emission and less of spectral shifts of the underlying PL bands. A switching of excitonic PL regime observed experimentally was analyzed within the exciton recombination-generation framework. The study provides new insights into the behaviors and physical mechanisms regulating light emission processes in np-GaN, critical to the development of nano-opto-electronic devices based on mesoscopic GaN.

AbstractTemperature dependent photoluminescence (PL) and absorption measurements are employed to clarify mechanism for light emission in GaNP alloys with low (< 4.1) nitrogen content. The PL emission in GaNP epilayers and GaNP/GaP multiple quantum well structures is shown to be dominated by optical transitions within deep states likely related to N clusters. With increasing N composition these states are shown to become resonant with conduction band of the alloy and thus optically inactive, leading to the apparent red shift of the PL maximum position. On the other hand, band-to-band recombination in the alloy remains predominantly non-radiative presumably due to the presence of a large number of competing recombination channels.

A detailed investigation of the optical and electronic properties of the deep-level defect UD-4 is reported. This defect has recently been observed in 4H semi-insulating silicon carbide, but has hardly been studied yet. Both low temperature and temperature-dependent photoluminescence were collected from the defect. Zeeman spectroscopy measurements were performed as well as time-resolved photoluminescence.

ABSTRACTWe present highly resolved photoluminescence studies on heat-treated nominally undoped InP, which was either unprotected or protected by SiO2 or Si3N4 caps during the annealing procedures. Annealing of InP above 350°C leads to six different sharp emissions in the wavelength range between 8790 and 8900 Å, which are not observed at 4 K in Zn-doped or Fe-doped samples. Based on temperature-dependent photoluminescence studies, time-resolved measurements and preliminary magnetic field studies we ascribe these emissions to isoelectronic bound exciton transitions. It is also shown that the two emissions at 8883 Å (11254 cm-1) (E) and 8889 Å (11246 cm-1) (F) belong to one center. We observe that the lines not only depend on the heat treatment but also on some unintentionally incorporated or residual impurities of a low concentration level. Possible candidates are discussed.

Temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectra of CH3NH3PbBr3show that the exciton emission peak continuously blue shifts with the increase in temperature from 10 K to room temperature. CH(NH2)2PbBr3shows a sudden red shift near 150 K due to phase transition.
