E. Vateva et I. Georgieva, OPTICALLY-INDUCED STEPWISE ABSORPTION IN SE SE85TE15 MULTILAYERS/, Journal of non-crystalline solids, 166, 1993, pp. 865-868
Optically induced stepwise changes in the transmission spectra of chal
cogenide Se/Se-Te superlattices has been established when the well lay
er width is smaller than 45 Angstrom. The defined changes in the slope
of the absorption spectra and the respective derivative staircase spe
ctra support a model based on quantum size effect.
