Erbium-doped GaN samples grown with different V/III ratios through gas source molecular beam epitaxy were prepared to investigate the influence of the V/III ratio on the defect formation and the optical activity of the Er-related luminescence center. Obvious V/III ratio dependence was observed in photoluminescence measurement. Positron annihilation spectroscopy measurements suggested that VGa-VN vacancy-complexes formed in these samples and that the VN/VGa ratio depended on the V/III ratio. The generation of Er-VN defect complexes, which act as high optical active luminescence centers, is suggested as the cause of improved optical properties of Er-doped GaN grown with a lower V/III ratio.
