Abstract
A study of the electroluminescence of asymmetric InAs/InAs1 – ySby/InAsSbP light-emitting diode heterostructures with a molar fraction of InSb in the ternary solid solution in the active region y = 0.15 and y = 0.16 in the temperature range 4.2–300 K is reported. It is found on the basis of experimental data that a staggered type-II heterojunction is formed at the InAs1 – ySby/InAs0.41Sb0.28P0.40 heterointerface. It is shown that interfacial radiative transitions at the type-II heterointerface make a dominant contribution in the temperature range of 4.2–180 K. This enables minimization of the temperature dependence of the operating wavelength of a light-emitting diode.
