Quantitative study of molecular N2 trapped in disordered GaN:O films
Abstract
The structure of disordered GaN:O films grown by ion-assisted deposition is investigated using x-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. It is found that between 4 and 21 % of the nitrogen in the films is in the form of molecular N2 that interacts only weakly with the surrounding matrix. The anion to cation ratio in the GaN:O host remains close to unity, and there is a close correlation between the N2 fraction, the level of oxygen impurities, and the absence of short-range order in the GaN:O matrix.
