Research Abstract

1. Carrier transport through higher energy subbands in asymmetric-double-quantum-well superlattices was investigated. Various carrier transport behaviors affected by state resonances related to higher subbands were observed. In addition, we proposed novel optical devices based on carrier transport through the higher subbands.
2. Type-II to type-I transition was observed in quantum-well microtubes, which was caused by uniaxial strain.
3. X-Lelectron transport between the indirect subband states was observed for the first time in semiconductor superlattices.
4. Electric field domain formation affected by higher subbands was investigated in asymmetric-double-quantum-well superlattices. Period by period movement of the domain boundary was clearly observed through photoluminescence measurement.
