Abstract
Metastable (Gax In1-x) (Py Sb1-y) layers were grown on (001) InP substrates by gas source molecular beam epitaxy. Low-temperature photoluminescence spectroscopy was applied to these heterostructures and revealed spatially indirect band-to-band recombination of electrons localized in the InP with holes in the (Gax In1-x) (Py Sb1-y). In addition, samples with layer thicknesses larger than 100 nm showed direct PL across the band gap of (Gax In1-x) (Py Sb1-y). Band-gap energies and band offset energies of (Gax In1-x) (Py Sb1-y) relative to InP were derived from these PL data. A strong bowing parameter was observed.
