Systematic photoluminescence measurements on a series of GaBixAs1-x samples are analyzed theoretically using a fully microscopic approach. Based on sp(3)s* tight-binding calculations, an effective k. p model is set up and used to compute the band structure and dipole matrix elements for the experimentally investigated samples. With this input, the photoluminescence spectra are calculated using a systematic microscopic approach based on the semiconductor luminescence equations. The detailed theory-experiment comparison allows us to quantitatively characterize the experimental structures and to extract important sample parameters. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
