  1. A systematic photoluminescence study of Be‐doped GaN grown by metal‐organic chemical vapor deposition is presented. All Be‐doped samples show the ultraviolet luminescence (UVLBe) band with a maximum at 3.38 eV and the yellow luminescence (YLBe) band with a maximum at ≈2.15 eV in GaN:Be having various concentrations of Be. The UVLBeband is attributed to the shallow state of the BeGaacceptor with a delocalized hole. The YLBeband is caused by a Be‐related defect, possibly the polaronic state of the BeGaacceptor with the charge transition level at 0.3 eV above the valence band. This broad band exhibits unusual properties. In particular, it always shows two steps in its thermal quenching. The second step atT ≈ 200 K is attributed to the emission of holes from the 0.3 eV level to the conduction band. The origin of the first step remains unexplained.
