摘要: The band offsets of PbSe/Pb1−xEuxSe multi-quantum wells grown by molecular beam epitaxy are determined as a function temperature and europium content using temperature-modulated differential transmission spectroscopy. confined quantum well states in the valence conduction bands analyzed k·p model with envelope approximation. From fit experimental data, normalized offset is 0.45±0.15 gap difference, independently Eu up to 14% from 20 300 K.
