摘要
We grow by molecular beam epitaxy and study by low temperature photoluminescence and high resolution electron microscopy pairs of identical AlAs/GaAs quantum wells, in which an InAs monolayer is inserted at nominally symmetric positions in the well, close to one or the other interface. The absolute displacement of indium atoms due to surface segregation processes is studied with respect to the well-defined GaAs/AlAs interfaces. Both techniques show that the InAs-on-GaAs interface lies at its nominal position, which gives the first clear example of a kinetical freezing of segregation processes in semiconductor heterostructures. PL data allow us to refine previous estimates of the segregation efficiency and to compare quantitatively various growth techniques.
