YAG photoluminescence of GaAs : Cr

Abstract
We have performed photoluminescence experiments, using two excitation sources : a YAG laser and a krypton laser, on a series of Chromium doped GaAs samples. The carrier concentration of the samples ranges from 1018 (n-type) to p-type (lightly doped). Three bands of photoluminescence at 0.57 eV, 0.61 eV and 0.839 eV are associated with Chromium. Their respective variations with excitation source and Fermi level position are reported. A tentative explanation in terms of the Configurational-Coordinate model for the (Cr 3+-Cr2+) centre is presented
