P. Ballet et al., EFFECT OF INDIUM SURFACE SEGREGATION ON EXCITONIC PROPERTIES IN (111)B-GROWN (IN,GA)AS GAAS MULTIPLE-QUANTUM WELLS/, Microelectronic engineering, 43-4, 1998, pp. 205-212
Two (111)B In0.15Ga0.85As/GaAs multiple quantum well p-i-n diodes, gro
wn by molecular beam epitaxy, are investigated by thermally-detected o
ptical absorption and electroreflectance. The excitonic properties are
calculated by taking into account the contribution of indium segregat
ion. An equilibrium model is used to provide the composition profiles.
It is shown that indium segregation influences the piezoelectric fiel
d determination and the oscillator strengths of the excitonic transiti
ons. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
