Abstract

Stimulated emission, obtainable at high optical pumping levels, has been used to follow the pressure dependence of the Γ‐band gap of molecular beam epitaxial In0.53Ga0.47As on (001)InP. Hydrostatic pressure was generated using a diamond anvil cell, and all measurements were made at room temperature. The gap varies sublinearly with pressure for P≳10 kbar, having an initial slope of 12.44 meV/kbar. The deviation from a linear behavior is largely due to nonlinearities in the equation of state at higher pressures. The deformation potential (Ξd+ (1)/(3) Ξu−a) =−(7.79±0.4)eV, for the Γ‐band gap.
