    Abstract

    The improvement of the photoluminescence (PL) properties of GaAsN/GaAs quantum well (QW) structures by inserting multiple monolayer thick InAs strain compensating layers (SCL) was analyzed. The QW structures were grown on GaAs substrates using metallorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) was used to study the microstructural quality of the QW structures. The low temperature PL and the room temperature (RT) PL were used to study the optical properties. It was observed that the InAs-inserted GaAsN/GaAs QW structure exhibited an enhanced PL intensity and a blueshift of PL emission.
