Abstract
Nanocrystalline GaP and amorphous GaPN solid solution have been synthesized in voids of artificial opal. The opal-GaP and opal-GaPN composites obtained clearly demonstrate properties of photonic crystals. The reflection spectra of the opal-GaPN composite exhibit specific features related to multiple Bragg diffraction on two systems of {111} planes, parallel and nonparallel to the surface of the photonic crystal. The study of photoluminescence spectra revealed a considerable modification of the emission band of the opal-GaPN composite, which was attributed to the influence of the photonic band gap.
