摘要
The transparency, reflection and luminescence spectra of In0.3Ga0.7As structures with 8 nm thickness and quantum wells limited by the barrier layer GaAs of a 9 nm (upper layer) and 100 nm (bottom layer) thickness had been studied in the region of photon energy 0.5-1.6 eV. Lines associated with the transitions hh,lh1-e1(1s,2s,3s), hh2,lh2-e2(1s,2s,3s), hh1,lh1-e2(1s) and hh3,lh3-e3(1s) had been revealed in reflection spectra. The shapes of the reflection and transparency lines had been calculated using a single oscillator model of dispersion relations and the Kramers-Kronig integrals. The binding energy of hh,lh1-e1 excitons, the effective mass m(hh)* and m(lh)* and the damping factor for the optical transitions to QW and QD had been determined. The lifetime of charge carriers on quantum dots varies in the range of 0.04-0.1 ps, while the radiative lifetime of excitons in quantum wells in the considered structure is around 2 ps.
