Abstract

Low temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements were carried out for C-, Be-, Mg-, Ge-, Zn- and Cd-doped GaAs prepared by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) and ion implantation (I4). Two new emissions, temporarily denoted by 'g' and [g-g] were commonly observed in the above materials and no principal difference of spectra was obtained among the samples prepared by different doping methods. 'g' is situated just below the well-known bound exciton emissions (B.E.) and seems to be unshifted against the increase of acceptor concentration, [A] and was suggested to be the excited energy state of an isolated acceptor. [g-g] presents a significant energy-shift towards lower energy sides with increasing [A] and at the highest limit of [A], it converges at the well-defined optical transition from conduction band to acceptor level, (e,A). These observations together with a preliminary theory suggest that [g-g] can be ascribed to the pair between excited-acceptors. It was for the first time clearly demonstrated that the absence and overlook of these two specific emissions pertinent to acceptors in conventionally-prepared samples can be attributed to the strong optical compensation effect among acceptors and unintentionally introduced residual donors.
