摘要: The effects of the thermal annealing induced diffusion on photoluminescence (PL) a GaAs∕GaInAs∕GaAs∕GaInNAs∕GaAs quantum well (QW) structure grown by solid source molecular beam epitaxy are studied. PL experimental results in conjunction with numerical quantum-mechanical modeling that predicts changes QW confining potential group-III atomic diffusion, have been used to obtain values for coefficient. activation energies GaInAs∕GaAs (ED,GIA) were found be between 0.49to0.51eV, while GaInNAs∕GaAs (ED,GINA) showed comparable 0.6 0.67eV, as time increases from 10to30s. ED,GIA and ED,GINA attributed same interstitial mechanism.
