width at half-maximum (FWHM) of less than 10 meV for PL peak emission < 1.9 prn. PL FWHM increased to 30 meV for peak emission -2.12 pm for OMVPE-grown layers. Nominally undoped layers are p-type with typical 300 K hole concentration of -9 x 1015 cm-3 and hole mobility -450 to 580 cm*N-s €or OMVPE-grown layers. p-and n-type doping is reported for layers grown with either technique. The ideaiity factor of diode structures is -2 for both techniques. INTRODUCTIONThermophotovoltaic systems in which thermal radiation is converted to electricity through the use of a photovokaic cell, are experiencing revived interest as the properties of low-bandgap semiconductor materials continue to improve [I]. To achieve high utilization of thermal radiation. the semiconductor cutof€ wavelength should closely match the dominant wavelength of rhe thermal source. For TPV system operating in the temperature range 1 100 to 1 SOW, the peak in emissive power varies from 1.9 to 2.6 pm. This wavelength range can be satisfied b y Gol-,In,As~-~Sb, 2 , alloys which can be grown lattice-matched to either InAs or GaSb rubstrares. However, this alloy system exhibits a large miscibility gap [2,3] which limits the equilibrium p w t h of srable alloys to a cutoff wavelength of 2.39 pm [4]. By using nonequilibrium growth techniques such as mofecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and organometallic
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.
