The unusual new spectrum, H-line, has been observed in low temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra of GaAs edge emission region from lightly or undoped GaAs/AlGaAs epilayers grown by liquid-phase epitaxy(LPE). This phenomena can be related to the energy band offset effect between GaAs and AlGaAs layers. In this paper, the pico-second(ps) life-time of H-line and the relation between H-line and heterojunction properties are reported by the PL and x-ray technology.
