Photoreflectance study of GaAs/GaAsP strained-barrier quantum well structures

GaAs/GaAs 1- x P x strained-barrier quantum well structures grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) have been investigated using photoreflectance (PR) spectroscopy. On the basis of the square-potential model, we have determined the band offsets at the heterojunction and their dependence on...

Zusammenfassung:GaAs/GaAs 1- x P x strained-barrier quantum well structures grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) have been investigated using photoreflectance (PR) spectroscopy. On the basis of the square-potential model, we have determined the band offsets at the heterojunction and their dependence on the phosphorus composition. It was found that in the GaAs/GaAs 1- x P x strained-barrier quantum well, the band offsets are almost linearly dependent on the phosphorus composition in the range of x ≤0.23. In addition, it was derived that the conduction band offset ratio Q c =0.57±0.05. This result is consistent with our previous study concerning GaAs/GaAsP “strained-well” quantum well structures.
