摘要
The optical properties of a sample containing several GaAs quantum wells of different widths separated by relatively thick but leaky Al0.3Ga0.7As barriers are investigated at temperatures up to 150 K. Electrical bias, applied using a Schottky gate, tilts the energy bands and results in quasiresonant transfer of electrons or holes, photoexcited in thicker GaAs layers into the quantum wells. This permits investigations under conditions varying from no significant carrier population up to electron or heavy-hole sheet densities of about 2×1011 cm-2 in the same quantum well and provides detailed information on the formation of Mahan excitons, oscillator strengths, and band-gap renormalization. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
