Abstract

The electron effective mass, me, and extent of exciton wave function, rexc, were derived in GaAs1−yNy (y=0.043%–0.5%) from magnetophotoluminescence measurements. With an increase in nitrogen concentration, we find that me and rexc undergo a rapid increase and squeezing, respectively, even for y≈0.1%. This quite early manifestation of nitrogen-induced localization effects imposes important constraints on existing theoretical models.
