We have studied the influence of oxygen on the optical properties of Be implanted InP. Be implanted p-type InP without oxygen shows a strong deep photoluminescence (PL) band at 0.82 eV following anneal. As the oxygen concentration increases, the 0.82 eV PL-band disappears. We attribute the disappearance of this PL-band to the formation of oxygen complexes with the implantation induced defects. In epitaxial grown, nominally undoped InP a new PL-line is observed at ~1.2 eV. The paramagnetic state of the phosphorus on indium P^ antisite is observed by optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) as a modulation of the photoluminescence in all Be implanted samples without oxygen. The antisite resonance is detected as a reduction of the 0.82 eV PL-band and the 1.2 eV PL-band. The observation of the Fe3+ resonance by ODMR spectroscopy is reported for the first time.
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.
