Ga(AsBi) semiconductor alloys have attracted increasing interest in recent years due to their special physical properties and potential application in optoelectronic and spintronic devices. These materials typically exhibit a certain degree of disorder due the potential fluctuation associated with the Bi content and to the existence of Bi clusters within the alloy structure. Here, we report on a study to clarify the impact of the Bi content on disorder effects in GaAsBi/GaAs SQWs [1]. The experimental techniques employed are continuous-wave and time resolved photoluminescence. Two theoretical models are used to quantify the disorder parameters. A straightforward model with a single energy scale is based on the carrier dynamics at very low temperatures. Secondly, an excitonic hopping model with two energy scales is based on the features of the PL spectra. [1] J. Appl. Phys. 114, 164306 (2013).
