Abstract

We report the growth of InAsN onto GaAs substrates using nitrogen plasma source molecular beam epitaxy. We describe the spectral properties of InAsN alloys with N-content in the range of 0%-1% and photoluminescence emission in the midinfrared spectral range. The photoluminescence emission of the sample containing 1% N reveals localized energy levels resonant with the conduction band states of InAsN.
