Abstract

In n-type GaP doping with Mn gives rise to a deep centre due to Mn+2. Its luminescence occurs in the near infrared.

The behaviour of this centre is studied as a function of temperature and the thermal quenching of the luminescence interpreted as due to a non-radiative process to the ground state. The behaviour of another band that appears upon doping with Mn is also discussed.
