Hw. Kunert, Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy from as grown and 147 keV Ar+-ionimplanted AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs quantum wells, APPL SURF S, 166(1-4), 2000, pp. 304-308
The AL(x)Ga(1-x)As/GaAs quantum wells (QWS) were subjected to 147 keV Ar+-i
on bombardment. The response of the QWS was studied by means of the seconda
ry ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS), low temperature photoluminescence (LTPL) a
nd the inelastic light scattering spectroscopy. The damage accumulation in
the QWS lends to a shift of quasiparticle energy levels towards lower energ
ies in QWS and to a decrease of LO, and LO, frequency modes of the AL(x)Ga(
1-x)As slabs. No good recovery has been found after annealing. (C) 2000 Els
