Positions of the sub-band minima in GaAs(AlGa)As quantum well heterostructures

P. Dawson; Geoffrey Duggan; H. I. Ralph; Karl Woodbridge; G.W. 't Hooft

Abstract We have combined measured 5K excitonic absorption peaks with calculations of the confined particle states to determine the band offsets in GaAs(AlGa)As quantum well heterostructures. Our observations are best fitted with a conduction band-valence band split of about 75:25. This contrasts with the currently accepted value of 85:15 and the recently proposed value of 60:40.

Measurement of 'material' parameters in multi-quantum-well structures

Multi-quantum-well (MQW) structures can be regarded as new materials whose properties are determined by the well and barrier thicknesses Lz and LB and the well depth (which is composition dependent). Measurements of Lz, LB and x are reported for 16 MQW samples grown by molecular beam epitaxy in the AlxGa1-xAs system. Results from X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy are found to compare well with each other and with values predicted from MBE growth conditions.

Photoluminescence decay times in (AlGa)As GaAs multiple quantum well heterostructures

P. Dawson; Geoffrey Duggan; H. I. Ralph; Karl Woodbridge

Abstract Measurements are reported of the photoluminescence decay rate from 55 A GaAs(Al0.35Ga0.65)As multiple quantum well samples prepared by molecular beam epitaxy. Results are reported for the temperature range 4–295 K. Additional measurements of the external photoluminescence efficiency of single thin layers of (AlGa)As lead us to conclude that at the higher temperatures the lifetime in the quantum wells is limited by non-radiative recombination at or close to the (AlGa)As barriers. Following studies of the decay at 4 K we offer a possible alternative explanation of the free exciton decay mechanism to that postulated previously.

Photoluminescence Decay Times in Multiple Quantum Well Heterostructures Prepared by Molecular Beam Epitaxy

P. Dawson; G. Ouggan; H. I. Ralph; Karl Woodbridge

We have studied the photoluminescence decay rate from GaAs-(AlGa)As quantum well (QW) samples grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Measurements are reported for the range 4-295K. Additional measurements on the luminescence efficiency of (AlGa)As single layers leads us to conclude that the room temperature lifetime in the quantum wells is limited by the optical quality of the barrier material. Decay measurements at 4K are given an interpretation different from those previously published.(1,2)
