摘要: Photoluminescence (PL) properties of the E-0, E-0+Delta(0), and E+ bands in an x=0.62% GaAs1-xNx alloy were investigated detail, including their peak position, linewidth, line shape dependences on excitation energy, power, temperature, using micro-PL. The hot electrons within band are found to exhibit highly unusual thermalization, which results a large blueshift its PL energy by >2k(B)T, suggesting peculiar density states carrier dynamics band.
