Theysuggestedthatthelocalizednarrower-gapregionstrappedcarriersatlowtemperaturesandproducedthelongwavelengthemis-sion.
However,theycouldonlyobservethelongwave-lengthPLatT<160K,andthePLintensitydroppedrapidlywithtemperature,whichcontraststoourresults.
Inaddition,transmissionelectronmicroscopeandsecond-aryionmassspectrometrymeasurements(notshownhere)haverevealedquiteuniformBicontentsinourInPBisamples.
AnotherpossibleexplanationisthatthelongwavelengthPLisfromtherecombinationrelatedtodeepenergylevels.
TheBiincorporationatlowgrowthtemper-aturesmayintroduceBi-relateddefectssuchasBi-antisites[20],whichcouldactasadeeprecombinationcenter.
Notethattheband-to-bandPLofInPBiwasnotobservedevenat8Kinourexperiments.
Thissuggestsaveryshortcarrierlifetimeatthebandgapandalongcar-rierlifetimeatthedeeplevels.
Therefore,theoriginofthePLsignalsisstillunclearatpresent,andfurtherinvestiga-tionsareneededtofullyaccountforthisphenomenon.
