Kh. Herrmann et al., LUMINESCENCE OF A QUANTUM-CONFINED DENSE ELECTRON-HOLE PLASMA FROM PBSE NANOSTRUCTURES, Journal of luminescence, 60-1, 1994, pp. 371-375
Stripe and hillock arrays have been manufactured from PbSe layers by a
holographic technique. Interband photoluminescence of stripes is spli
t into up to eight subband transitions indicating strong carrier confi
nement as a consequence of small effective masses in PbSe. Each subban
d transition is observed above a certain excitation threshold.
