Abstract

This talk reviews work on the optical properties of Eu-doped GaN at the Semiconductor Spectroscopy laboratory of the University of Strathclyde. The principal experimental technique used has been lamp-based Photoluminescence/Excitation (PL/E) spectroscopy on samples produced mainly by high-energy ion implantation and annealing, either at low or high pressures of nitrogen, as described by Lorenz et al. [1]. These have been supplemented by samples doped in-situ either by Molecular Beam Epitaxy or Metallorganic Vapour Phase Epitaxy. Magneto-optic experiments on GaN:Eu were carried out in collaboration with the University of Bath.
