    We demonstrate epitaxial lattice-matched Al0.89Sc0.11N/GaN 10 and 20 period distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) grown on c-plane bulk n-type GaN substrates by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Resulting from a rapid increase in in-plane lattice coefficient as scandium is incorporated into AlScN, we measure a lattice-matched condition to c-plane GaN for a Sc content of just 11%, resulting in a large refractive index mismatch Δn greater than 0.3 corresponding to an index contrast of Δn/nGaN = 0.12 with GaN. The DBRs demonstrated here are designed for a peak reflectivity at a vacuum wavelength of 400 nm, reaching a reflectivity of 0.98 for 20 periods. It is highlighted that AlScN/GaN multilayers require fewer periods for a desired reflectivity than other lattice-matched Bragg reflectors such as those based on AlInN/GaN multilayers.

    Using low-temperature cathodoluminescence spectroscopy, we study the properties of N- and Al-polar AlN layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy on bulk AlN{0001}. Compared with the bulk AlN substrate, layers of both polarities feature a suppression of deep-level luminescence, a total absence of the prevalent donor with an exciton binding energy of 28 meV, and a much increased intensity of the emission from free excitons. The dominant donor in these layers is characterized by an associated exciton binding energy of 13 meV. The observation of excited exciton states up to the exciton continuum allows us to directly extract the Γ5 free exciton binding energy of 57 meV.
