Abstract

Temperature dependence of the energy gap and the spin-orbit split off transition in a thick layer of narrow-gap InGaAsSb material with high In content has been determined by a combination of photoluminescence and photoreflectance. The respective temperature coefficients have been found to be equal for both the transitions and determined to be α = −0.41 meV/K. For the investigated In0.86Ga0.14As0.83Sb0.17 alloy, the separation energy of the split-off band has been obtained to be Δso = 0.460 eV and experimentally evidenced to be independent on temperature, which opens broad application prospects for these multinary (multicomponent) narrow gap compounds and their heterostructures.
