ABSTRACTWe have investigated the interface roughness of single thin InP/InAs quantum wells grown by Chemical Beam Epitaxy. We report results of low temperature photoluminescence and secondary ion mass spectroscopy. The interface roughness is characterized by multiple-line photoluminescence spectra and is very sensitive to parameters such as the growth temperature. Details of the interface roughness are discussed based on the shifts of the excitonic energies observed by photoluminescence.

AbstractA comparison of ion irradiation-induced intermixing in GaAs-Al0.54Gao46As quantum well structures with H, O and As ions is investigated by low temperature photoluminescence. Very large energy shifts are observed together with good recovery of the photoluminescence intensities after annealing in samples irradiated with protons. No saturation in the energy shifts is observed in samples irradiated even up to a dose of 4.3 x 1016 cm-2. Similar large shifts with low absorption are also observed in O and As implanted samples but at a significantly lower ion dose. However, both the heavier ions show a saturation effect in the degree of intermixng at higher doses. The degree of intermixing is believed to be a delicate balance among multiple competing processes that occurs across the interface.

AbstractIn heavily dislocated GaAs (dislocation density of 108cm-2), the low-temperature cathodo- luminescence efficiency of quantum wells and superlattices is dramatically higher than that of a bulk-like layer. Furthermore, the luminescence efficiency can be further improved by doping the barriers of the GaAs/(Al,Ga)As multi-quantum well structures with beryllium (Be). Two quite different possible models for this observation are discussed: One assumes that the effect is due to the expulsion of dislocation kinks from the wells, the other that it is due to the effect of well width fluctuations.
