✦ Synopsis
We briefly review the luminescence properties of defects in GaN and focus on the most interesting defects. In particular, the blue luminescence band peaking at about 3 eV is assigned to different defects and even different types of transitions in undoped, Zn-, C-, and Mg-doped GaN. Another omnipresent luminescence band, the yellow luminescence band may have different origin in nearly dislocationfree freestanding GaN templates, undoped thin layers, and carbon-doped GaN. The Y 4 and Y 7 lines are caused by recombination at unidentified point defects captured by threading edge dislocations.
