Abstract

We report the growth and characterization of a new dilute nitride, InNAsSb/InAs, by solid source molecular beam epitaxy. Optimizing growth conditions for nitrogen incorporation has resulted in high-quality InNAsSb epilayers without any structural degradation, as confirmed by high-resolution x-ray diffraction. Optical properties were investigated by temperature dependent and excitation power dependent photoluminescence. We obtained mid-infrared luminescence around 4 mm at low temperature, which reveals strong carrier localization behavior at low temperature induced by nitrogen interacted with antimony. The band alignment of InNAsSb/InAs can be type-I and instead of conventional type-II, InAsSb/InAs, and a conduction band offset, Ec,of ∼102meV was obtained.
