Liquid phase epitaxial growth and luminescence of InAs1-x-ySbxPy p-n junctions

An investigation was made into the epitaxial growth and luminescence properties of InAs1-x-ySbxPy p-n junctions grown by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE). Details of the growth conditions and X-ray analysis are given, together with both photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) results measured over the temperature range 78-295 K. The temperature dependence of the luminescence emission was investigated in detail and compared with theory.
