Abstract The electroluminescence of the single unconfined type-II heterojunction p-GaInAsSb/p-InAs was investigated in the temperature range T=4.2–77 K. As the temperature was reduced below T=77 K, the luminescence bands with maxima at 311 meV (band A) and 384 meV (band B) were found to shift toward higher energies. At 4.2 K, the short-wave band split into two bands, B 1 and B 2. These results are explained in terms of a model involving recombinations of electrons from the conduction band to an acceptor level of InAs, and also recombinations of electrons and holes localized in self-consistent quantum wells on either side of the heterojunction.
