Description

Cathodoluminescence from GaNxAs1-x layers (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.03) was measured at photon energies ranging from the intrinsic absorption edge to 3 eV at room temperature. An additional emission band was visible in the visible range of the cathodoluminescence spectra. The intensity of this band is two orders of magnitude lower than the edge-emission intensity. The photon energy corresponding to the peak of this band and its FWHM are virtually independent of x and equal to ∼2.1 and 0.6-0.7 eV, respectively. This emission is related to indirect optical transitions of electrons from the L6c and Δ conduction-band minimums to the Γ15 valence-band maximum
