Using the cathodoluminescence and photoluminescence techniques, the luminescence centers in Te-diffused samples have been identified and compared with the Te-doped bulk GaSb. Fundamental differences in the radiative levels are observed between the diffused and the as-grown doped samples. Evidence for self-compensating acceptor complexes are seen in diffused samples. With short and moderate diffusion times, a compensating acceptor complex VGaGaSbTeSb is observed. For long diffusion times, the dominant acceptor center has been attributed to the antisite defect Ga-Sb or related complex. The reasons for the formation of various acceptor centers have been discussed.engNature of compensating luminescence centers in Te-diffused and -doped GaSbjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.362848http://scitation.aip.orgopen access538.9Gallium AntimonidePhotoluminescenceEpitaxyFísica de materiales
