Notes:
Photoluminescence measurements in a magnetic field between 0 and 13.6 T were carried out on CuPtB-ordered GaInP at liquid-helium temperature. Four samples of different degrees of ordering (η, varying from 0 to 0.54) were studied. Experimental results show that the ordering not only induces a band-gap reduction and valence-band splitting, it also causes changes in effective masses and an effective mass anisotropy. By measuring and analyzing the magnetoluminescence with the magnetic field aligned along both ordering (the [1¯11]) and growth (the [001]) directions, we demonstrate that, for the band-edge excitonic state, the reduced mass in the plane perpendicular to the ordering direction is smaller than that in the ordering direction and also smaller than that of a disordered alloy. The exciton binding energy is found nearly independent of the degree of ordering, in agreement with theoretical predictions. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
