Optical Absorption Exhibits Pseudo-Direct Band Gap of Wurtzite Gallium Phosphide.

Abstract:

:Definitive evidence for the direct band gap predicted for Wurtzite Gallium Phosphide (WZ GaP) nanowires has remained elusive due to the lack of strong band-to-band luminescence in these materials. In order to circumvent this problem, we successfully obtained large volume WZ GaP structures grown by nanoparticle-crawling assisted Vapor-Liquid-Solid method. With these structures, we were able to observe bound exciton recombination at 2.14 eV with FHWM of approximately 1 meV. In addition, we have measured the optical absorption edges using photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy. Our results show a 10 K band gap at 2.19 eV and indicate a weak oscillator strength for the lowest energy band-to-band absorption edge, which is a characteristic feature of a pseudo-direct band gap semiconductor. Furthermore, the valence band splitting energies are estimated as 110 meV and 30 meV for the three highest bands. Electronic band structure calculations using the HSE06 hybrid density functional agree qualitatively with the valence band splitting energies.
