Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy was used to study the red luminescence band from freestanding GaN grown on LiAlO 2 substrate by hydride vapor phase epitaxy. The red luminescence band was observed with its peak at 1.78 eV and 1.85 eV at 10 K and 300 K, respectively. Temperature‐dependent PL data show that the 1.78 eV red band is due to a donor‐acceptor pair (DAP) transition. Excitation‐intensity‐dependent PL measurements at 10 K and 300 K reveal that the 1.85 eV band at 300 K is the overlap of the DAP band and the electron‐to‐acceptor (e, A 0 ) transition band. Ion‐implantation experiments confirmed that both carbon and oxygen impurities are involved in the red luminescence transition. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
