摘要：

Photoluminescence spectra from Al//0//. //3//7Ga//0//. //6//3As/AlAs multiple quantum well structures with staggered band alignments are presented which provide the first direct optical measure of the valence-band offset at a semiconductor heterojunction. The experiment takes advantage of the crossover occurring at a critical aluminum concentration above which the indirect X minima in the AlAs become the lowest energy conduction bands in the system, and recombination occurs across the interface. The resulting emission fixes the valence-band offset at DELTA E//v equals 342 plus or minus 4 meV for this structure.
