T. Schmiedel et al., OPTICAL STUDY OF AN N-TYPE MODULATION-DOPED GAAS ALAS MULTIPLE-QUANTUM-WELL STRUCTURE/, Journal of applied physics, 74(3), 1993, pp. 2100-2102
We present an optical study (photoluminescence and Raman scattering) o
f a GaAs/AlAs multiple quantum well structure doped n-type in the AlAs
barriers. The photoluminescence shows that the Si donors of the barri
ers release their electrons in the GaAs wells, creating a dense quasi-
two-dimensional electron gas. The Raman spectra contain a feature asso
ciated with the e1 --> e2 intersubband transition.
