H. Kissel et al., PECULIARITIES OF PHOTOLUMINESCENCE IN PSEUDOMORPHIC MODULATION-DOPED AL0.2GA0.8AS IN0.1GA0.9AS/GAAS QUANTUM-WELLS/, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 58(8), 1998, pp. 4754-4760
Peculiarities of photoluminescence (PL) spectra have been observed in
the modulation-doped pseudomorphic strained-layer AlxGa1-xAs/InyGa1-yA
s/GaAs heterostructures (x = 0.2, y = 0.1). In particular, the charact
er of PL spectra dramatically depends on the quantum well width, chang
ing from excitoniclike in wider wells to (two-dimensional) electron-he
avy-hole band transitions in narrower quantum wells. Low-energy struct
ure in the photoluminescence is weakly observed in the InyGa1-yAs quan
tum well and interpreted in terms of a two-dimensional electron gas ho
le bound to acceptor transitions.
