Notes:
The excitation intensity dependence of the photoluminescence (PL) from Ga0.52In0.48P grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy on GaAs substrates has been investigated as a function of epitaxial layer growth temperature and substrate orientation. It is well known that the degree of ordering and the band-gap energy of this material are functions of growth conditions. We report here on a PL emission which shifts rapidly with excitation intensity. The rate of emission shift is also a function of growth conditions including substrate orientation. There is, however, no significant correlation between the band-gap energy and the rate of emission shift in Ga0.52In0.48P. This PL shift is explained in terms of band filling of potential fluctuations that are associated with a microstructure consisting of ordered domains within a disordered matrix.
