The photoconductivity and photoluminescence spectra measured on MBE-gr
own modulation-doped AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunctions show a novel structur
e consisting of several sharp excitonic-like peaks extended up to appr
oximate to 30 meV above the bulk GaAs exciton recombination energy. Th
eir two-dimensional (2D) nature has been confirmed by an external magn
etic field angle dependence. The two proposed models assume localized
centers of donor and acceptor nature concentrated at or near the inter
face.
