We study the optical transitions and their relation to the crystal potential in ultrathin InAs/GaAs multiple quantum wells. Photoluminescence, photoluminescence excitation, and photoreflectance measurements evidence strong localization of the heavy- and light-hole excitons in submonolayer wide InAs quantum wells. A tight-binding model in the linear-chain approximation explains these results in terms of particle localization at the two-dimensional potential discontinuity produced by the insertion of the InAs plane in the host GaAs matrix.

Abstract
We study the optical transitions and their relation to the crystal potential in ultrathin InAs/GaAs multiple quantum wells. Photoluminescence, photoluminescence excitation, and photoreflectance measurements evidence strong localization of the heavy- and light-hole excitons in submonolayer wide InAs quantum wells. A tight-binding model in the linear-chain approximation explains these results in terms of particle localization at the two-dimensional potential discontinuity produced by the insertion of the InAs plane in the host GaAs matrix.File in questo prodotto:
