Abstract

Upconversion through excitation of bulk GaAs is investigated by change in crystal growth conditions with electron beam (e-beam). The upconverted photoluminescence intensity is enhanced several times by striking the source fluxes with e-beam during molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth. Experimental evidence for a shallow intermediate state being responsible for this upconversion is presented. It is suggested that the intermediate state may be formed by shallow exciton trap states induced by As anti-site defects, which can be increased with e-beam during MBE growth.
