The carrier localization phenomenon has been investigated for GaBiAs by photomodulated transmittance (PT) and photoluminescence (PL). In the case of PT measurements, a decrease in the energy-gap related PT signal has been clearly observed below 180 K. In PL spectra a broad emission band very sensitive to the excitation power has been found. In comparison to the energy-gap related transition, this band is shifted to red. The recombination time for this band at low temperature decreases from 0.7 to 0.35 ns with the increase in the emission energy. All the findings are clear evidences for strong carrier localization in this alloy.
