Abstract

The effects of H irradiation and thermal annealing on the optical properties of (InGa)(AsN) heterostructures have been investigated by photoluminescence (PL) and infrared absorption, as well as by theoretical methods. It has been found that different N clusters contribute to the band gap red-shift reported for (InGa)(AsN) alloys, with a sizable localization of the carrier wavefunctions around N atoms. Infrared absorption measurements indicate that two different N-H complexes are formed, whose vibrational frequencies are in good agreement with theoretical estimates. The ability of hydrogen to passivate different isoelectronic impurities is confirmed by PL results in H irradiated Zn(STe).
