Abstract

Quaternary GaNxAs1-yPy alloys have been synthesized using N ion implantation into GaAs1-yPy (y=0-0.4) epilayers followed by pulsed laser melting (II-PLM). We observed strong optical transitions from the valence band to both the lower (E-) and upper (E+) conduction subbands that arise from the N induced splitting of the conduction band (EM) of the GaAs1-yPy host. As predicted by the band anticrossing model, GaNxAs1-xyPy with y>0.3 is a three band semiconductor alloy with potential applications for high-efficiency intermediate band solar cells. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.
