Notes:
The effect of alloy fluctuations on the emission barrier of the DX center in aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs) is studied by constant capacitance deep level transient spectroscopy using Si-doped and Sn-doped samples grown by different growth techniques. All the samples showed single broadened peaks which were analyzed by assuming a Gaussian distribution for the emission barrier. The full width at half maximum for the emission barrier spread was found to be the same (∼0.05+0.005 eV) for all the samples and is of the same order as the reported capture barrier spread for Si-doped AlGaAs, which strongly suggests that the binding energy spread of the DX center in AlGaAs is very small.
