Charge transfer processes via deep levels (DLs) of a free-standing n-GaN grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy is investigated using two types of excitations in time resolved photoluminescence (PL) analysis: above the bandgap energy (E g ) (AEG) and sub-E g (SEG). Using SEG excitation allowing us the PL observation free from carrier dynamics around band-edges such as excitonic recombination varying the population influx to DLs, intrinsic properties of DL-related PL and charge transfer processes are exhibited. The shortening of PL lifetime of red-light luminescence accompanied by a slight increase in its intensity by increasing temperature suggests the dominance of radiative transition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
