Abstract :
Thermal annealing efficiently enhances the poor optical activity of GaInNAs-based quantum-well (QW) structures. 7-MeV electron irradiation at the 2×1017 e/cm2 fluence decreased almost two times the PL intensity of GaInNAs/GaNAs/GaAs QWs. At the same time, the PL linewidth enhanced with 1.6 meV, whereas the PL red shifted with 6 nm.
