Abstract

The mutual passivation of group IV donors and nitrogen in diluted GaN xAs1-x alloys was discussed. It was found that the mutual passivation resulted in the electric deactivation of GeGa donors and suppression of the NAs induced band gap narrowing through the formation of GeGa-NAs nearest neighbor pairs. The evidences for general nature of the mutual passivation phenomenon in highly mismatched semiconductor were also presented.
