    Abstract

    The authors report on an interesting observation regarding thermal annealing of a beryllium-doped Ga0.65In0.35As0.99N0.01/GaAs quantum well (QW) grown by molecular beam epitaxy. A QW doped at 6×1019 cm−3 exhibited superior thermal properties and about six times larger photoluminescence than an undoped QW of the same structure. X-ray diffraction and secondary ion mass spectrometry provided evidence that beryllium suppressed indium diffusion and stabilized (metastable) dilute nitride heterostructure upon annealing.
