A new Fourier transform photo-modulation spectroscopic technique for narrow band-gap materials in the mid- to far-infra-red
TL;DR: In this paper, a photo-modulation system based on a Fourier transform spectrometer was proposed to measure the bandgap in dilute-N InSbN, achieving what they believe are the first modulation spectroscopy measurements in the mid-IR beyond ∼6 μm.

Photoluminescence of InNAs alloys: S-Shaped Temperature Dependence and Conduction-Band Nonparabolicity
M. Merrick,S. A. Cripps,B. N. Murdin,T. J. C. Hosea,Tim D. Veal,Christopher F McConville,Mark Hopkinson +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the observed redshift in room temperature emission as a function of nitrogen concentration is in agreement with the predictions of the band anticrossing (BAC) model, as implemented with model parameters derived from tight-binding calculations.

P. Murzyn,C. R. Pidgeon,P. J. Phillips,JP Wells,Neil Gordon,Timothy Ashley,John H. Jefferson,T. M. Burke,Jean Giess,M. Merrick,B. N. Murdin,C. D. Maxey +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the spin lifetimes in long-wavelength narrow-gap semiconductors at wavelengths between 4 and 10 µm and from 4 to 300 K.

Suppression of D'yakonov-Perel spin relaxation in InAs and insb by n-type doping at 300 K
P. Murzyn,C. R. Pidgeon,P. J. Phillips,M. Merrick,Konstantin Litvinenko,Jeremy Allam,B. N. Murdin,Timothy Ashley,John H. Jefferson,Alan Miller,Lesley F. Cohen +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured remarkably long spin lifetimes (tau(s)similar to 1.6 ns) for near-degenerate epilayers of n-InAs.
