Energy and time-resolved photoluminescence data have been obtained for nominally undoped ([ital n] 4.5[times]10[sup 15] cm[sup [minus]3]) bulk InP grown by the vertical-gradient freeze method. The data were taken as a function of temperature, from 80 to 290 K, and analyzed using a solution to the continuity equation. The resulting lifetime values range from 300 ns to 3.2 [mu]s, and surface recombination velocities were fund to be on the order of 10[sup 3] cm/s. The temperature dependence can be explained by assuming a radiatively limited recombination with a resulting [ital B] coefficient [ge]5.9[times]10[sup [minus]11] cm[sup 3]/s at 300 K.
