Resumo

The metastable wurtzite crystal phase in gallium phosphide (WZ GaP) is a relatively new structure with little available information about its emission properties compared to the most stable zinc-blend phase. Here, the effect of growth conditions of WZ GaP nano-and microstructures obtained via chemical beam epitaxy on the optical properties was studied using power-and temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL). We showed that the PL spectra are dominated by two strong broad emission bands at 1.68 and 1.88 eV and two relatively narrow peaks at 2.04 and 2.09 eV. The broad emissions are associated with the presence of carbon and a small number of extended crystal defects, respectively. For the sharp emissions, two main radiative recombination channels were observed with ionization energies estimated in the range of 50-80 meV and lower than 10 meV. No variation of the low-temperature PL spectra was observed for samples grown at different P precursor flows, while increasing Ga content enhanced the dominant broad emission at around 1.68 eV, suggesting that the group III organometallic precursor is the main source of impurities. Finally, Be-doped samples were grown, and their characteristic optical emission at 2.03 eV was identified. These results contribute to the understanding of impurity-related luminescence in hexagonal GaP, being useful for further crystal growth optimization required for the fabrication of optoelectronic devices.
