Abstract

Bulk and quantum well GaAs 1-xBi x/GaAs layers with Bi mole fractions from 0.02 to 0.10 are grown by molecular-beam epitaxy at temperatures ranging from 280 to 320 °C. The samples are characterized using temperature and pump-power dependent photoluminescence measurements covering 8-300 K and 1-250 mW (7-1,800 W/cm 2), respectively. The results indicate that there is strong reduction in bandgap energy with the incorporation of small amounts of Bi and that GaAsBi most likely forms a weak type-I band alignment with GaAs.
