Abstract
A study is made of the photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence spectra of epitaxial layers of GaAs and AlxGa1−x As solid solutions, grown by the temperature-gradient zone refining technique. The values of the distribution coefficient are found for tellurium, germanium, and zinc as a function of the aluminum content in the liquid zone and the temperature of the zone refining process. The luminescence properties of AlxGa1−xAs doped with germanium, tellurium, and zinc are found as a function of the composition.
