- Hydrogen incorporation is shown to cause passivation of various N-related localized states and partial neutralization of N-induced changes in the electronic structure of the GaNxP1-x alloys with x < 0.008. According to the performed X-ray diffraction measurements, the hydrogenation is also found to cause strong expansion of the GaNP lattice which even changes from a tensile strain in the as-grown GaNP epilayers to a compressive strain in the post-hydrogenated structures with the highest H concentration. By comparing results obtained using two types of hydrogen treatments, i.e. by implantation from a Kaufman source and by using a remote dc H plasma, the observed changes are shown to be inherent to H due to its efficient complexing with N atoms, whereas possible effects of implantation damage are only marginal.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The GaP1–xNx conduction band is investigated experimentally (by excitation photoluminescence) andtheoretically (by pseudopotential supercells) for N concentrations up to x=3.5%and photon energies ranging from the optical absorption edge to3.2 eV. With increasing x: (i) a direct-like absorption edgedevelops smoothly and red-shifts rapidly overtaking energy-pinned cluster states; (ii)a broad absorption plateau appears between the X1c and the1c critical points of GaP; (iii) the 1c absorption edgebroadens and gradually disappears. Empirical pseudopotential calculations for GaP1-xNx randomalloy supercells account well for all the PLE results byconsidering N induced changes in the valence band overlooked sofar. ©2005 American Institute of Physics
