摘要: The Cardona equation describing the temperature behavior of a bulk semiconductor is utilized to fit experimental photoluminescence data for both strained and unstrained quantum wells (QWs). To account confinement energy strain energy, was modified include respective offsets. Results modeling experimentally obtained PL GaAs/AlGaAs QWs case, InGaAs/GaAs shows that gives excellent fits even QW bandgaps. Thus, extract eigenenergies, which are verifiable using usual effective mass approximation method in solving Schrodinger’s finite potential well.
