摘要: Abstract We have performed a systematic study of photoreflectance (PR), Raman scattering (RS), low temperature photoluminescence (PL) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) on quantum wells (MQWs) grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) with nominal well (L Z )/barrier B ) widths 100A/100A 200A/200A. The large number features observed in the PR spectra at 135K 77K, combined theoretical calculation using Bastard model enable us to characterize structure MQWs, i.e., L , barrier height. values height agrees determination. In contrast calculation, fundamental heavy-hole valence conduction subband transitions both samples occur somewhat higher energies PL. This apparent discrepancy suggests that GaAs been contaminated about 1% mole fraction Al. is confirmed RS results also indicated growth conditions.
