Abstract
Quantum well potentials are engineered to control the energy level shi fts induced by semiconductor alloy intermixing. A few monolayers of a semiconductor with a different band gap can lie inserted at the node o r at the crest of wavefunctions with different parities to enhance the interdiffusion-induced interband transition energy-shifts, or to mani pulate the intersubband transition energies.
