摘要
Nonparabolic tendency of conduction subbands in InGaAs/InAlAs quantum wells (QWS), lattice-matched to InP, were studied using cyclotron resonance (CR) because its confinement potential was stronger than in InGaAs/InP and GaAs/GaAlAs QWs. Thickness of InGaAs well was 5-10 nm. Barrier thickness was more than 10 nm. Field-scanned pulse CR and wavelength-scanned CR were observed. CR energy changed sublinearly with magnetic field. This curve agreed with our calculation, based on Kane's three-level band theory and Landau quantization. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
