| Photoluminescence, photocurrent, thermally stimulated current and photoinduced current transient spectroscopy measurements done on molecular beam epitaxy In0.52Al0.48As layer, lattice matched to InP are reported. The investigated layers were grown on semi-insulating InP wafers, at temperature range from 215 to 450°C. It was found that the Fermi level was pinned to a dominant midgap center (most likely similar to EL2 center). Moreover, there were at least 7 other defects but with much smaller concentrations. Their activation energies were equal to 0.076, 0.11, 0.185, 0.295, 0.32 and 0.40 eV. The layers exhibited a very low luminescence and a small photocurrent. |
