  • Abstract
    Below bandgap emission and absorption are observed in p-ZnSnP2on n-GaAs heterojunctions. The band lineup of this heterostructure system suggests that the below bandgap transition is between the valence bands of GaAs and the conduction band of ZnSnP2at the interface. The predicted value for the interfacial gap of E_{I} = 1.27 eV compares with an experimental value of 1.31 eV.
