Iron related emission spectra in InP

This paper presents a detailed PL study of Fe2+ related four zero-phonon(ZP) lines and their related phonon sidebands. Four zero-phonon transitions at approximate to 2800 cm(-1) along with the accompanying phonon sidebands extending down to 2400 cm(-1). There are ta two prominent regions in the phonon sidebands. One is ascribed to coupling to acoustic-type phonons (2700 cm(-1) region), the other is due to coupling to optic-type phonons (2500 cm(-1) region). Beside broad coupling with lattice modes, there are several groups of lines. They are ascribed to resonant modes, impurities induced gap modes and local modes.

On the nature of iron in InP: A FTIR study

Fe is still the commonly used dopant to fabricate semi-insulating(SI) InP, a key material for high-speed electronic and optoelectronic devices. High resolved absorption spectra of the internal d-d shell transitions at Fe2+ in InP and the related phonon sidebands and a series of iron related absorption Lines are presented. Detailed infrared absorption study of the characteristic spectra of four zero-phonon lines(ZPLs), which are attributed to transitions within the 5D ground state of Fe2+ (3d(6)) on the indium site in a tetrahedral crystal field of phosphorus atoms and their temperature effects are given.
