The incorporation of Bi into GaAs reduces the band gap by as much as 60–80 meV per percent Bi. Thus a wide wavelength range in the near and middle infrared region can be reached and Ga(AsBi) is a serious candidate for many applications e.g. diode lasers.
The photoluminesence of the present Ga(AsBi) samples show an S-shape and the PL linewidth has a maximum at intermediate temperatures. These are typical indications of disorder effects on a very large energy scale. We describe the disorder effects using a kinetic Monte-Carlo simulation. In order to characterize the disorder effects we use experimental time-integrated and time-resolved data and compare these to our theoretical results.
