M. Fritze et al., MANY-BODY AND DISORDER EFFECTS IN THE OPTICAL-SPECTRA OF EXTREMELY HIGH-DENSITY BE DELTA-DOPED GAAS, Solid state communications, 100(7), 1996, pp. 497-501
We study the highly degenerate hole gas found in extremely high densit
y Be delta-doped GaAs (n(s) approximate to 10(14) cm(-2)). Sharp excit
onic-like features (Fermi-edge singularities), dominate the luminescen
ce spectrum at low temperatures and remarkably coexist with a high deg
ree of disorder evidenced by large, temperature independent Urbach tai
ls and low mobilities. This observation coincides with a transition to
self-organized clustered Be growth and the population of additional h
ole subbands. Copyright (C) 1996 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd
