摘要
We report the first observation of visible cathodoluminescence of the rare earth (RE) elements Sm, Ho implanted in GaN. The implanted samples were given isochronal thermal annealing treatments at a temperature of 1100 degrees C in N-2, at atmospheric pressure to recover implantation damages and activate the RE ions. The sharp characteristic emission lines corresponding to Sm3+ and Ho3+ intra-4f(n)-shell transitions are resolved in the spectral range from 400 to 1000 nm, and observed over the temperature range of 11-411 K. The cathodoluminescence emission is only weakly temperature dependent. The results indicate that RE doped GaN epilayers are suitable as a material for visible optoelectronic devices.
