Degradation of GaAsN/GaAs Quantum Well Under 1 MeV Electron Beam Irradiation
The radiation effects of MBE grown GaAsN/GaAs quantum well irradiated by 1 MeV electron with different dose (1×10
15
1×10
16
e/cm
2
) and post thermal annealing (650
750
850℃) have been studied.The degradation mechanism and annealing effects were discussed by Mulassis simulation and GaAs energy bandgap model. The results show that the GaAsN/GaAs quantum well PL intensity significantly decreased with the increase of electron does. The PL intensity of the GaAsN GaAs quantum well decayed to 85% and 29% of the initial value after electron irradiation with doses of 1×10
15
e/cm

and 1×10
16
e/cm
2
respectively. The PL intensity of GaAsN/GaAs quantum well returned to original value after annealing at 650℃ for 5 min
and the bandgap of the material remained unchanged. The PL intensity of GaAsN/GaAs samples decreased as the annealing temperature increased after annealed at 750℃ and 850℃ for 5 min
and the bandgap blue shifted about 4 nm due to the diffusion of N atoms from GaAsN quantum well to GaAs barrier layer. The increase of annealing temperature did not cause additional blue shifts of the band gap. This was due to the further increase in temperature
which caused new N-As defects
suppressed N-atom diffusion
and degraded the optical properties of GaAsN/GaAs quantum well.
