Abstract
The study of photoluminescence band-tail-localized excitons in and in its solid solution confirms the existence of two polytypes for these one-dimensional materials. Fitting of the spectra, with a model proposed by Ouadjaout and Marfaing, associates a density of states proportional to exp[-(ɛ/] and implies both defect and compositional fluctuations. Gap energy, parallel and perpendicular to the chain direction, has been calculated in , and its variation with composition x is found to follow a quadratic law. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
