摘要：
Using X-ray diffraction, photoconductivity and temperature dependent conductivity measurements, we investigate GaN:Gd layers grown by reactive molecular-beam epitaxy with the Gd concentration ranging from 7 x 10(15) to 8.5 x 10(18) cm(-3). Our study reveals that the incorporation of Gd produces a large concentration of defects in the GaN lattice. The density of these defects generated even with a Gd concentration as low as 7 x 10(15) cm(-3) is estimated to be as high as approximate to 10(19) cm(-3). The defect state is found to be located approximate to 450 meV away from the band edge. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
