摘要
Field-assisted photoemission has been observed from a semiconductor heterostructure with a GaAs-Al0.25Ga0.75As emitter layer and has yielded spectroscopic information on hot-electron energy distributions in the low-electron-density limit. Energy-distribution curves of electrons photoemitted from the structure under high electric fields have been measured as a function of electric field and photon energy. Computer-modeled values for the AlxGa1-xAs intervalley coupling constants have been deduced as follows: DΓL=(0.30±0.10)×109 eV cm-1, DLL=(0.70±0.10)×109 eV cm-1, DXX=(0.70±0.05)×109 eV cm-1, DLX=(0.70±0.15) ×109 eV cm-1, and DΓX=(1.0±0.2)×109 eV cm-1. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
