Abstract

We have carried out defect-induced Raman scattering in resonance with yellow-luminescence (YL) transitions in GaN layers grown on sapphire by electron cyclotron resonance-molecular beam epitaxy technique. The photoluminescence (PL) data shows strong excitonic peaks in the near-band-edge region apart from the weak and broad yellow-luminescence transitions. Raman spectra from various GaN samples prepared by this technique show strong and distinct Raman peaks in the low-energy region (90–260 cm −1). These peaks are attributed to electronic excitations of donors, which are involved in the yellow-luminescence transitions. Resonant enhancement of these peaks is seen as a function of temperature.
