摘要: Abstract Bandgap energy of GaAs 1− x N strained layers and 0.83 Sb 0.17 /GaAs, 0.74 0.25 0.01 /GaAs quantum wells grown on (001) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) were studied absorption measurements. We have investigated the red-shift bandgap effect incorporation low percentage nitrogen in with 0.1% T =15 K, we observed a band edge about 250 meV for 1% nitrogen. This has been explained anticrossing (BAC) model which localized states interact extended conduction GaAs. also performed measurements optical transitions GaAsSb/GaAs GaAsSbN/GaAs well structures. To interpret measurement results, used envelope function approximation.
