Jm. Roberts et al., EXPERIMENTAL-EVIDENCE FOR DX ENERGY-DISTRIBUTIONS IN DELTA-DOPED ALXGA1-XAS GAAS QUANTUM-WELL STRUCTURES/, Semiconductor science and technology, 11(3), 1996, pp. 458-460
We interpret the free-carrier loss observed in a series of highly Si d
elta-doped AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs quantum well structures in terms of a model
of DX centre formation which includes Coulomb interactions. Our inter
pretation implies a strongly growth-dependent DX centre energy. The da
ta allow investigation of the DX centre distribution between 214 and 2
49 meV, and confirm a considerably broadened DX centre density of stat
es (greater than or equal to 35 meV).
