Abstract

Ga0.54In0.46As0.12P0.88 lattice matched to GaAs and grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) shows an anomalous temperature behaviour of its cathodoluminescence (CL) emission. Using high resolution x-ray diffraction (HRXRD) and transmission electron diffraction (TED), ordering in this quarternary alloy can be identified as the reason for this behaviour. The ordering follows the same trends with respect to misorientation that are known for InGaP. In addition to ordering, compositional fluctuations related to a miscibility gap are found in this material. In contrast, layers with a higher As-content (y=0.5; y=0.76) do not show properties related to ordering.
