Lattice Mismatch Effect on Photoluminescence from InAsxP1-x/InP Heterostructuer
The variable-temperature photoluminescence spectra of strained InAs

/InP heterostructuer were experimentally determined in the temperature range 13~300 K. A theoretical calculation was presented that takes into account the temperature-induced variations in band gap and biaxial strain to explain the PL spectra. The results showed that strain which is induced by lattice mismatch between epitaxial layer and substrate removes the degeneracy between the light- and heavy-hole states at the top of the valence band
and with temperature under 100 K
the recombinations from the conduction band to the split valence bands are both observed in the photoluminescence spectra. As temperature is raised
it results in an increasingly larger light-hole population than that of heavy-hole due to thermalization
so when temperature is beyond 100 K only the recombination from the conduction band to the light-hole state can be observed.We also find that the energy of the recombination between the conduction band and the light-hole and heavy-hole state changes as a function of temperature.
