Photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy of Ti3+in GaP

Abstract
Photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra of the internal 2T2 to 2E emission of TiGa3+ in GaP are investigated on samples ranging from n-conducting to p-type semi-insulating. Besides the intracentre and band to band excitation, photoionization of Ti2+ and photoneutralization of Ti4+ terminating in the excited 2T2 state of Ti3+ can be identified from the PLE spectra. The cross section for the capture of conduction band electrons into the excited state of Ti3+ is found to be low.
