Abstract

Variable laser power and temperature dependent photoluminescence (PL) measurements were used to identify some of the optical transitions and impurity-related emissions for chemically treated (Br-methanol, (NH₄)₂S + S or [(NH₄)₂S/ (NH₄)₂SO₄] + S solutions) or oxidised (annealed in oxygen) bulk n-InAs (111)A. A combination of PL and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements before and after various treatments was used to identify the chemical nature of the impurities giving rise to bound exciton recombination in InAs (111). Band–to-band transitions have been observed at 0.4185 eV. In addition, two shallow neutral donor bound excitons ascribed to atomic oxygen (at 0.412 eV) and to sulphur (at 0.414 eV), have been detected after treatment.
