摘要
Systematic variations in excitonic photoluminescence spectral features were observed for growth-interrupted GaAs/AlGaAs SQW's on GaAs(100) vicinal substrates for a variation in the misorientation angle (toward the (111)A) from 0.5° to 4.0°. These were explained by a structural model of hetero-interfaces composed of staircases which have monolayer straight steps and terraces with a fluctuating width characteristic of the angles. An analysis, which includes the effect of the fluctuation in terrace widths relative to the exciton size is given to explain the observed narrowing of the luminescence linewidth for the highest misorientation angle examined. © 1989.
