Abstract

A photoreflectance (PR) and photoluminescence (PL) study has been performed on a Si-doped epitaxial GaN layer that contains impurity or defect related below band gap features in its PR spectrum. In the 300 K PR spectrum, these features appear at energies of 3.26 and 3.33 eV, respectively, but below 180 K they can no longer be seen. The 3.26 eV line evidently corresponds to a donor acceptor pair transition, also seen in PL. The origin of the 3.33 eV line is uncertain, but may correspond to a transition involving the nitrogen vacancy.
