Abstract
Transition related to the Mn-Zn interaction was observed in photoluminescence (PL) study of the InMnP:Zn epilayer and the peak position blueshifted with increasing Mn concentration. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to clarify the blueshift of the PL peak. The binding energy shifts of Mn 2p and Zn 2p core levels indicative of the interaction between Mn and Zn were observed. This mutual interaction between Mn 2p and Zn 2p agrees with the result that the Mn-related transition in InMnP:Zn codoped with Zn is shifted to the higher energy region in comparison with InMnP without additional doping of Zn.
