Abstract

Non-equilibrium electron distributions and energy loss rate in a MOCVD-grown In xGa 1-xAs 1-yN y (x =0.03 and y =0.01) epilayer on GaAs substrate have been studied by picosecond Raman spectroscopy. It is demonstrated that for electron density n ≅ 10 18 cm -3, electron distributions can be described very well by Fermi-Dirac distributions with electron temperatures substantially higher than the lattice temperature. From the measurement of electron temperature as a function of the pulse width of excitation laser, the energy loss rate In xGa 1-xAs 1-yN y is estimated to be 64 meV/ps. These experimental results are compared with those of GaAs.
