S. Murugkar et al., CORRELATION BETWEEN INTERSUBBAND RAMAN-SCATTERING AND ELECTRIC-FIELD DOMAINS IN QUANTUM-WELL STRUCTURES, Solid-state electronics, 40(1-8), 1996, pp. 153-155
We report on Raman scattering by intersubband excitations in GaAs-AlAs
superlattices which exhibit electric-field domains resulting from seq
uential resonant tunneling. At a given bias, the Raman spectra reveal
two peaks in voltage ranges where two domains coexist. An unexpected r
esult of our studies is the observation of significant differences in
the dependence of charge- and spin-density scattering on the electric
field.
