In this study, the growth and photoluminescence (PL) properties of InSb/ GaSb nano-stripes grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (001) GaSb substrate are reported. In situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction observation during InSb growth shows that the growth of InSb on GaSb surface is in Stranski-Krastanov mode and results in nano-stripe formation. The obtained nano-stripes have rectangular-based structure with the height of 25.2 AE 4.0 nm and they are elongated along [110] direction. PL emission from buried InSb/GaSb nano-stripes shows the emission peak at %1850 nm (0.67 eV). According to the emission energy and the structural information, low In content of %0.24 in nominally grown InSb/GaSb nano-stripe is estimated. Power-dependent PL spectroscopy shows a linear relation between integrated PL intensity and the excitation power. Thermal activation energy of %20 meV from InSb nano-stripe emission is extracted from the temperaturedependent PL spectroscopy.
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.
