Abstract

The electron effective masses for Al0.15Ga0.35In0.5P and Ga0.5In0.5P have been investigated using conventional and optically detected cyclotron resonance. For AlGaInP (partly ordered) it is determined to be m*=(0.14±0.01) m0. For disordered GaInP the mass is found to be m*=(0.092±0.003) m0 and for ordered material (band gap reduction ∼50 meV) m*=(0.088±0.003) m0. The experimentally deduced values are compared with those obtained from five-band k⋅p calculation.
