摘要
The photoluminescence (PL) at low temperature of three delta-doped AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures is investigated under continuous and pulsed excitations. The PL under continuous excitations allows the identification of the trapping centres and probes the carrier's transfer to the GaAs channel. The time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) inquires about carrier dynamics and gives radiative lifetimes of different levels. The DX level shows two time constants of the intensity decay relating the splitting of the valence band under impurity strains which reduce the crystal symmetry. The two time constants evolve with temperature and exhibit an increase near T = 50 K. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
