Abstract

A Hall mobility as high as 176,200 cm2V-1s-1 at 77 K with N(d)-N(a) = 1.3 x 10(14) cm-3 has been obtained by adjusting the substrate and the phosphine cracker temperatures. The 2 K photoluminescence spectra show finely resolved excitonic transitions for layers grown above 535-degrees-C with linewidths of 0.07 meV. Excitonic transitions have been recorded between 2 and 250 K. The free exciton energy position leads to a highly accurate expression of the band gap energy, which extrapolates to E(g) = 1.347 eV at 300 K.

Epitaxy

Epitaxy (prefix epi- means "on top of”) refers to a type of crystal growth or material deposition in which new crystalline layers are formed with one or more well-defined orientations with respect to the crystalline seed layer. The deposited crystalline film is called an epitaxial film or epitaxial layer. The relative orientation(s) of the epitaxial layer to the seed layer is defined in terms of the orientation of the crystal lattice of each material.

Exciton

An exciton is a bound state of an electron and an electron hole which are attracted to each other by the electrostatic Coulomb force. It is an electrically neutral quasiparticle that exists in insulators, semiconductors and some liquids. The exciton is regarded as an elementary excitation of condensed matter that can transport energy without transporting net electric charge. An exciton can form when a material absorbs a photon of higher energy than its bandgap. This excites an electron from the valence band into the conduction band.

Band gap

In solid-state physics and solid-state chemistry, a band gap, also called a bandgap or energy gap, is an energy range in a solid where no electronic states exist. In graphs of the electronic band structure of solids, the band gap refers to the energy difference (often expressed in electronvolts) between the top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band in insulators and semiconductors. It is the energy required to promote an electron from the valence band to the conduction band.
