Structural and Optical Property Study of InPBi Thin Films
InPBi exhibits a strong and broad photoluminescence spectrum at room temperature. The broad spectrum originates from the PIn antisite and Bi-related deep levels. This optical property makes InPBi promising for super-radiative light source in optical coherence tomography system (medical imaging technology). TEM and APT were used to discuss the structural property of InPBi thin films. The results show that Bi atoms distributes quite non-uniform in InPBi thin films. There is a Bi-rich region at the InPBi/InP interface. Besides, there is a Bi nano-wall in (110) face along the [001]. This enriched distribution of Bi atoms inhibits the carrier recombination processes in relation to PIn antisite deep level. This work provides theoretical basis for fabricating super-radiative light-emitting diodes applied in optical coherence tomography system.
