Abstract

GaAs 1-xN x layers and quantum dot-like structures were grown on (100) GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. The dependence of photoluminescence emission spectra on annealing temperature is consistent with literature at lower temperatures but after annealing at 750 °C a net red-shift is consistently observed. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements indicate that for different annealing times and temperatures, the nitrogen and arsenic surface concentrations changed compared to that of as-grown samples, specifically arsenic is lost from the material. Raman measurements are consistent with the trends in photoluminescence and also suggest the loss of arsenic occurs at higher annealing temperatures in both samples capped with GaAs and uncapped samples.
