Abstract

Advanced infrared optoelectronic devices fabricated using antimony-based type-II superlattices have progressed significantly in recent years. However, fundamental challenges remain in the understanding of the exciton recombination mechanism associated with these superlattice structures and in the exploration of efficient methods to suppress the effects of native defects and thus prolong carrier lifetimes. We have investigated the optical properties of high-quality InAs/In0.5Ga0.5As0.5Sb0.5 type-II superlattices in the long-wave infrared band (6–9 μm), where a significant carrier localization phenomenon was observed via temperature- and excitation-power-dependent photoluminescence measurements. The carrier…
