Optically-detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) and positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS) experiments have been employed to study magnesium-doped GaN layers grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy. As the Mg doping level is changed, the combined experiments reveal a strong correlation between the vacancy concentrations and the intensity of the red photoluminescence band at 1.8 eV. The analysis provides strong evidence that the emission is due to recombination in which electrons both from effective mass donors and from deeper donors recombine with deep centers, the deep centers being vacancy-related defects.

The effects of hydrogen incorporation into beta-Ga2O3 thin films have been investigated by chemical, electrical and optical characterization techniques. Hydrogen incorporation was achieved by remote plasma doping without any structural alterations of
the film; however, X-ray photoemission reveals major changes in the oxygen chemical environment. Depth-resolved cathodoluminescence (CL) reveals that the near-surface region of the H-doped Ga2O3 film exhibits a distinct red luminescence (RL) band at 1.9 eV. The emergence of the H-related RL band is accompanied by an enhancement in the electrical conductivity of the film by an order of magnitude. Temperature-resolved CL points to the formation of abundant H-related donors with a binding energy of 28 +/- 4 meV. The RL emission is attributed to shallow donor-deep acceptor pair recombination, where the acceptor is a VGa-H complex and the shallow donor is interstitial H. The binding energy of the VGa-H complex, based on our experimental considerations, is consistent with the computational results by Varley et al [J. Phys.: Condens. Matter, 23, 334212, 2011].
We study 1 or 2 neighboring Mn impurities, as well as complexes of 1 Mn and 1 or 2 Mg ions in a 64 atoms supercell of GaN by means of density functional calculations. Taking into account the electron correlation in the local spin density approximatio
n with explicit correction of the Hubbard term (the LSDA+U method) and full lattice relaxation we determine the nearest neighbor exchange J for a pair of Mn impurities. We find J to be ferromagnetic and of the order of about 18 meV in the Hamiltonian H=-2*J1*J2. That J is only weakly influenced by the U parameter (varying between 2 and 8 eV) and by the lattice relaxation. From a detailed analysis of the magnetization density distribution we get hints for a ferromagnetic super-exchange mechanism. Also the Mn valence was found to be 3+ without any doubt in the absence of co-doping with Mg. Co-doping with Mg leads to a valence change to 4+ for 1 Mg and to 5+ for 2 Mg. We show that the valence change can already be concluded from a careful analysis of the density of states of GaN doped with Mn without any Mg.
The excitation efficiency and external luminescence quantum efficiency of trivalent Eu3+ ions doped into gallium nitride (GaN) was studied under optical and electrical excitation. For small pump fluences it was found that the excitation of Eu3+ ions
is limited by an efficient carrier trap that competes in the energy transfer from the host material. For large pump fluences the limited number of high-efficiency Eu3+ sites, and the small excitation cross-section of the majority Eu3+ site, limit the quantum efficiency. At low temperatures under optimal excitation conditions, the external luminescence quantum efficiency reached a value of 46%. These results show the high potential for this material as an efficient light emitter, and demonstrates the importance of the excitation conditions on the light output efficiency.
The optical properties of a stack of GaN/AlN quantum discs (QDiscs) in a GaN nanowire have been studied by spatially resolved cathodoluminescence (CL) at the nanoscale (nanoCL) using a Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (STEM) operating in spe
ctrum imaging mode. For the electron beam excitation in the QDisc region, the luminescence signal is highly localized with spatial extension as low as 5 nm due to the high band gap difference between GaN and AlN. This allows for the discrimination between the emission of neighbouring QDiscs and for evidencing the presence of lateral inclusions, about 3 nm thick and 20 nm long rods (quantum rods, QRods), grown unintentionally on the nanowire sidewalls. These structures, also observed by STEM dark-field imaging, are proven to be optically active in nanoCL, emitting at similar, but usually shorter, wavelengths with respect to most QDiscs.
Experimental and computer-modeling studies of spectral properties of crystalline AgCl doped with metal bismuth or bismuth chloride are performed. Broad near-IR luminescence band in the 0.8--1.2mkm range with time dependence described by two exponenti
al components corresponding to the lifetimes of 1.5 and 10.3mks is excited mainly by 0.39--0.44mkm radiation. Computer modeling of probable Bi-related centers in AgCl lattice is performed. On the basis of experimental and calculation data a conclusion is drawn that the IR luminescence can be caused by Bi^+ ion centers substituted for Ag^+ ions.
