Notes:
Layers of InP:Tm, GaAs:Tm, GaP:Tm, and GaInP:Tm have been grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy at atmospheric pressure using tris(isopropylcyclopentadienyl)thulium as a liquid Tm source. Electrical measurements revealed no characteristic influence of Tm on the electrical properties of the semiconductor host. Tm3+-related 4f emissions at 1.2 and 1.9 μm are observed both in GaAs and GaInP. In GaAs, the Tm3+ 4f luminescence at 1.2 μm consists of a series of very sharp lines. In GaInP samples, the Tm3+-related luminescence at 1.2 μm is much stronger than in the GaAs samples and is still observable at room temperature.
