Abstract
Cathodoluminescence investigations on bulk undoped semi-insulating GaAs samples taken from different sources reveal the presence of a deep level emission at 0.9 eV at 77 K, with a narrow full width at half maximum of 8 meV. The temperature-dependent and beam-parameter-dependent studies indicate that, the probable origin for this emission may be some nanocluster/quantum-dot like structures with a band gap of 0.9 eV, present inside the semi-insulating GaAs crystal lattice. One possibility for such structures in semi-insulating GaAs are clusters/nanoprecipitates of arsenic.
