Z. Ikonic et al., INTERSUBBAND ABSORPTION-LINE BROADENING IN IN0.53GA0.47AS IN0.52AL0.48AS QUANTUM-WELLS - A PSEUDOPOTENTIAL CALCULATION/, Solid state communications, 81(10), 1992, pp. 841-843
The line broadening of intersubband transitions in In0.53Ga0.47As/In0.
52Al0.48As quantum wells is analysed within the microscopic pseudopote
ntial approach, that implicitly takes all the band structure effects i
nto account. Linewidths considerably broader than those in the convent
ional GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs quantum wells are found, indicating that these n
ew type of quantum wells should be advantageous only when larger trans
ition energies are necessary.
