摘要: Photoconductance decay and spectral photoconductance measurements were made on a set of ten undoped layers GaN grown by rf-plasma MBE. The layers, also characterized Hall, photoluminescence reflectance measurements, represented wide variety in electrical optical properties, several under atomic hydrogen. Spectral indicated transitions at 1.0--1.1, 1.92, 2.15, 3.08 3.2--3.4 eV. All exhibited persistent photoconductivity to some degree. In contrast with previous reports, clear correlation was not observed between yellow luminescence or, indeed, any measurement made. Analysis indicates that more than one type may be present.
