Minority carrier lifetimes in ideal InGaSb/InAs superlattices

Grein, C. H., Young, P. M., Ehrenreich, H.·1992·Applied Physics Letters

Abstract

Calculations of band-to-band Auger and radiative recombination lifetimes of the recently proposed InxGa1−xSb/InAs superlattices (SL) show them to be promising infrared detectors. Several superlattices with energy gaps in the 5–11 μm range exhibit suppressed p-type Auger recombination rates due to a large light hole–heavy hole splitting. The p-type Auger lifetime at 77 K of an 11 μm InxGa1−xSb/InAs SL is found to be, respectively, three and five orders of magnitude longer than those of bulk and superlattice HgCdTe with the same energy gap. The n-type lifetimes are comparable.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
