Abstract
We report 0.8 eV photoluminescence (PL) emission of GaAs grown at low temperatures between 325 and 400°C by molecular beam epitaxy. Effects of heat treatments of the 0.8 eV emission are compared with those of the 1.467 eV sharp bound exciton lines. This allows us to attribute the 0.8 eV emisson to the As-VGa center. We discuss the assigning of the Asi-VGa center to the well-known EL6. The PL intensity variation of 0.68 eV EL2 and 0.8 eV Asi-VGa seen in substrate materials is explained in terms of dislocation−mediated Asi-VGa transformation to EL2 whereas the PL intensity variation of 0.8 eV Asi-VGa for molecular beam epitaxy layers can be attributed to the growth condition.
