Abstract

Optical properties of InGaAs/GaNAs superlattice are investigated by the photoluminescence and reflectance measurements. A quantum well (QW) emission PM (centered at ≈1.2 eV) and a broad low‐energy emission (LEE) band, which can be resolved to three peaks PA′, PA, and PB (0.77, 0.83, and 0.92 eV) are observed. The peak positions of the LEE exhibit S‐shaped behavior, whereas the QW emission shows a red shift with increasing temperature. The LEE bands are attributed to N‐related deep‐level localized state. The photoluminescence (PL) peak of QW exhibits a significant blue shift and saturation effect with increasing excitation density, which is interpreted in terms of the band‐bending model in the InGaAs/GaNAs short‐period superlattice (SPSL) with a type II band alignment. Furthermore, carrier transfer among these N‐related localized states is elucidated by examining the temperature‐dependent photoluminescence. Such carrier transfer is also demonstrated by the thermal effect under high excitation density.
