Using burial wet-oxidised AlxOy layers to enhance impurity free vacancy dif
fusion. the intermixing of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells has been achieved A 70
Angstrom thick GaAs quantum well shows a blueshift of 59meV when the sampl

s. it is confirmed that the bandgap transition region is localised laterall
y within 1 mu m of the oxide/nonoxide interface.
