The 1.36 eV radiative transition in InP: its dependence on growth conditions in MBE and MOCVD material

Abstract
A radiative bound exciton transition at 1.36 eV has been observed in the low temperature cathodoluminescence spectrum emitted from InP grown epitaxially by both molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) under certain specific growth conditions. In both growth techniques the conditions give rise to a depletion of phosphorus in the epilayers and it is suggested that the defect binding the excitons may be a complex incorporating a phosphorus vacancy.
