Abstract

Photoluminescence connected with excitons and their phonon replicas in undoped homoepitaxial MOCVD grown GaN layers have been studied in the temperature range 2 - 100 K. It is shown that the coupling between LO phonons and neutral acceptor bound excitons (ABE) is much stronger than the coupling between LO phonons and neutral donor bound excitons (DBE). In spite that emission due the DBE no-phonon is one order of magnitude stronger than the ABE one, the predominant feature of the first LO phonon replica of the excitonic structures is related to the ABE. It is argued that this fact is connected with delocalization of the acceptor wavefunction in the k-space which leads to a higher number of interacting LO phonons in the first replica. On the other hand, the second LO phonon replica of the excitonic structures is predominantly connected with the DBE. In the case of two LO phonons interacting with bound excitons the k - conservation has not so direct influence. In addition, the temperature dependence of LO phonon replicas and their kinetics in ps regime are also reported.
