Samples annealed in N 2 at the C same temperature and for the same annealing t-J C. time show only a decrease in overall 0luminescence by a factor of about 2. No increase in the D-A peak intensity was found for N 2 annealing.

Photon Energy (eV) Argon is an inert element, and was therefore implanted into GaN to study the damage created by implantation and its Figure 1. Photoluminescence of as-grown, MOCVD GaN samples annealed inNH3 for 90 min at temperatures subsequent annealing. In contrast to earlier of 600 to 1050 'C. reports [1,2], the Ar implanted samples did not show any unique PL peaks. In all Ar implanted and annealed samples, the D-A band dominated the spectrum. The PL peaks in the NH 3 annealed sample were better resolved than the N 2 case. However, the absorption edge showed identical damage recovery for both N 2 and NH 3 annealing. Near the bandedge, the absorption data revealed an exponential tail of states. The length of which could be characterized by an energy E0, which is given by .
