摘要
Two (111)B In0.15Ga0.85As/GaAs multiple quantum well p-i-n diodes, grown by molecular beam epitaxy, are investigated by thermally-detected optical absorption and electroreflectance. The excitonic properties are calculated by taking into account the contribution of indium segregation. An equilibrium model is used to provide the composition profiles. It is shown that indium segregation influences the piezoelectric field determination and the oscillator strengths of the excitonic transitions. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
