Title: Hot-electron luminescence and polarization in GaAs/sub 1-x/P/sub x/ alloys

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)

The weak direct-gap luminescence originating from the GAMMA valley of GaAs/sub 1-x/P/sub x/ indirect-gap alloys is observed. Incident energy dependence and polarization correlation of the luminescence with the exciting light are presented. The luminescence is interpreted as recombination of hot electrons, with strong momentum anisotropy, on acceptors. The dynamics of conduction electrons in the GAMMA valley can be discussed.
