摘要: Abstract Electronic transition in BGaAs/GaAs single quantum well (SQW) have been performed combining the dimensional Schrodinger equation, band anticroissing BAC and 10-band k.p models. The modelling results validated experimentally by photoluminescence (PL), high resolution-X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) photoreflectance (PR). calculated appeared to be consistent with experiments. Surface photovoltage SPV spectroscopy gives a new way study bandgap of boron based-SQW for first time. New e1-lh1 which is specific SQW. suggested structure looks promising candidate solar cells photonic applications as reference growth optimization understanding electronic properties related B(In)GaAs/GaAs quaternary alloys.
