Abstract
In this work, we demonstrate that β-Ga2O3 shows orientation-dependent polarized photoluminescence (PL) emission and give a comprehensive insight into gallium oxide's PL spectral properties. We characterized the polarization and spectral dependencies of both the incident and emitted light for (−201) unintentionally doped (UID) as well as (−201) and (010) Sn-doped and Fe-doped crystals. We observed for UID and Sn-doped samples that the electron to self-trapped hole and native defect-related emission bands are linearly polarized with polarized emission intensities ordered as E || c (and c*) > E || a (and a*) > E || b. Furthermore, the spectral shape of emission does not change between the UID and Sn-doped samples; instead, the Sn-doping quenches the total PL spectral intensity. For Fe-doped samples, polarized red emission caused by unintentional Cr3+ doping generates emission intensities ordered E || b > E || c (and c*) > E || a (and a*). It is also observed that in some circumstances, for some doped crystals, the PL spectra can show variations not only in intensity but also in spectral shape along different polarization directions. As an example, the PL emission band for emission along c is blueshifted relative to that along a in Sn-doped β-Ga2O3.
