Abstract

The optical absorptions and the defect densities of GaAs grown by low temperature molecular-beam-epitaxy at growth temperatures between 200-580°C were evaluated by photothermal deflection spectroscopy. The shapes of the absorption spectra exhibit EL2-like characteristics. Defect densities were found to be in the range of 1018-1019 cm-3. The PDS phase spectra were shown to be useful to differentiate the absorptions of the epilayer from those of the bulk.
