Abstract

Metalorganic chemical vapor deposition- and molecular beam epitaxy-grown strain-balanced InAs/InAs 1-xSb x type-II superlattices with 20-100 periods and Sb composition between 0.22≤x≤0.30 exhibit photoluminescence between 5.8 to 10.6 μm at 5 K. The temperature dependent onset of photoresponse obtained from photoconductivity measurements is fit to the Varshni equation, resulting in fitting parameters closer to those of InAs than InSb, and the Fan expression, which gives a Debye temperature less than that of InAs or InSb.
