Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Experimental data on luminescence in laser-modified InP crystals are compared with the theory of radiative recombination of heavily doped, compensated semiconductors. It is established that the band with maximum at 1.35 eV observed at 77 K is due to radiative transitions through the tails of the density of states which are formed as a result of the random distribution of defects and impurities showing up after laser treatment. The effective depth of the tails of the density of states is estimated to be equal to 67 meV.
