Europium red photoluminescence (5D0→7F2) in implanted GaN samples is investigated as a function of the annealing temperature. For above bandgap excitation a remarkable increase of the photoluminescence (PL) is observed for samples annealed at 1300°C. Excitation density dependent measurements at 12K reveal the existence of two major incorporation sites for Eu3+ions in GaN samples. Spectral characteristics of the two Eu3+centers are described. Eu3+5D0lifetimes and effective excitation cross-sections specific to each Eu3+center are determined in various samples. Results suggest that one center corresponds to Eu3+ions in Ga substitutional sites with a corresponding rather low effective excitation cross-section compared to the other center which exhibits a higher excitation cross-section and is probably associated to a more distorted local environment.
