A study of the electronic structure of ultrathin AlAs layers buried in GaAs
(100) and their interfaces is presented. Al L-2,L-3 soft-X-ray-emission (SX
E) spectra from the AlAs layers were measured. The spectra show distinct th
ickness-dependent features, which are reproduced using ab initio calculatio
ns. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
