Abstract
GaAs1-xPx/GaAs alloys were grown on SI-GaAs (100) substrate by solid source molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technique
using GaP decomposition source. The critical point (CP) energies of the interband-transition edges of the structures were
determined by line-shape analyses on their dielectric functions measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) at room
temperature in the 0.5-5 eV photon energy regions. We obtained a new bowing parameter by analyzing effect of the
phosphorous compositions on the E0 transition energy. The band gap energies of the alloys and their bowing value were
also obtained by evaluating photoluminescence (PL) emission peak positions at the room temperature..
