Energy and time-resolved photoluminescence data have been obtained for nominally undoped (n 4.5×1015 cm−3) bulk InP grown by the vertical-gradient freeze method. The data were taken as a function of temperature, from 80 to 290 K, and analyzed using a solution to the continuity equation. The resulting lifetime values range from 300 ns to 3.2 μs, and surface recombination velocities were fund to be on the order of 103 cm/s. The temperature dependence can be explained by assuming a radiatively limited recombination with a resulting B coefficient ≥5.9×10−11 cm3/s at 300 K.

A vacuum heating camera has been developed for extremely low background X-ray film work between room temperature and 2000 K. It can be used with modified conventional Weissenberg goniometers and with a specially designed focusing goniometer. The temperature control is maintained by a Pt/Pt-10~ Rh thermocouple, a three-term proportional, integral and derivative (PID) controller and a programmable power supply. The accuracy in the absolute temperature setting is 10 K, the stability better than 1 K and the maximum thermal gradient over the crystal 7 K mm-1 at 1330 K. A small oxygen pressure can be applied, depending on the temperature, to control oxidation or reduction reactions of the sample.
