摘要: Simultaneous measurement of both the conduction‐ and valence‐band dispersion curves in single strained‐layer structures is presented. These measurements rely on application recent observations regarding breaking usual selection rules for interband magnetoluminescence transitions modulation‐doped structures. Low‐temperature magneto‐luminescence data three representative InGaAs/GaAs n‐type single‐strained quantum well are For energies approaching 50 meV above band gap, we find that conduction parabolic with an effective mass 0.071m0. Over same energy range, valence bands highly nonparabolic.
