Lattice dynamics and carrier recombination in GaAs/GaAsBi nanowires.

ABSTRACT: GaAsBi nanowires represent a novel and promising material platform for future nano-photonics. However, the growth of high-quality GaAsBi nanowires and GaAsBi alloy is still a challenge due to a large miscibility gap between GaAs and GaBi. In this work we investigate effects of Bi incorporation on lattice dynamics and carrier recombination processes in GaAs/GaAsBi core/shell nanowires grown by molecular-beam epitaxy. By employing photoluminescence (PL), PL excitation, and Raman scattering spectroscopies complemented by scanning electron microscopy, we show that increasing Bi-beam equivalent pressure (BEP) during the growth does not necessarily result in a higher alloy composition but largely affects the carrier localization in GaAsBi. Specifically, it is found that under high BEP, bismuth t
