Abstract
Monoclinic gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) has attracted much attention from the fields of optoelectronic and electronic devices owing to the properties of wide bandgap, great breakdown field strength, as well as the economic advantages of low-cost growth of large-size single crystals. Here, the basic photophysical properties including absorption (free-carrier absorption and band-edge absorption) and reflection (phonon polaritons and exciton polaritons) of differently doped β-Ga2O3 with diverse carrier concentrations are studied in detail. The unpolarized reflection spectra of differently doped β-Ga2O3 crystals are well fitted based on the non-polarized reflection model. Besides, according to analysis, the longitudinal–transverse splitting energy of β-Ga2O3 direct excitons is estimated to be as high as 100 meV, reflecting the strong interaction between light and excitons. It is hoped that this work can provide beneficial reference for a comprehensive understanding on the spectral physical characteristics of β-Ga2O3, so as to deepen and expand the basic recognition of this material in the aspect of photophysical properties.
