AbstractWe present data on electron transport in AlSb/InAs/AlSb quantum wells grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Because both anion and cation change across an InAs/Alsb interface, it is possible to grow such wells with two different types of interfaces, one with an InSb-like bond configuration, the other AlAs-like. Electron mobility and concentration were found to depend very strongly on the manner in which the quantum well's interfaces were grown, with high mobilities seen only if the bottom interface is InSb-like. An As-on-Al sites antisite defect model is postulated for bottom AlAs-like interfaces.

ABSTRACTIn this work we demonstrate that photopumped quantum wellheterostructure lasers with excellent optical quality can be grown ontop of a LT GaAs buffer layer by molecular beam epitaxy. Hightemperature thermal annealing of these lasers blue-shifts the laseremission wavelengths but the presence/absence of a LT GaAs layerhad little effect on the overall laser thresholds. Also, to first order itwas not necessary to include an AlAs barrier layer to preventadverse effects (as has been necessary in the gate stack of MESFETs to prevent carrier compensation).
