| Research Abstract |
We have studied GaAs/InAs/GaAs single quantum well (SQW) structures grown on GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). We have made the first observation of the PL spectra from ultrathin InAs/GaAs SQWs grown on GaAs (111)A substrates. The 10K photoluminescence(PL) spectra exhibit strong and narrow peaks. When the thickness of InAs wells increases from 1 to 6 ML, the PL peak energy at 10 K gradually decreases from 1.47 to 1.36 eV, the FWHM becomes wider and the intensity abruptly decreases and disappears for InAs wells thicker than 9ML. The results indicate that the PL intensity from the SQW is also related to the quality of the GaAs cap layer as well as the InAs wells. The PL peak energies significantly exceed calculated values. This discrepancy may be explained by the diffusion into GaAs of In atoms at the GaAs/InAs interfaces.
