摘要:
Conduction-band effective masses in a direction parallel to the quantum well plane mere investigated in n-type-modulation-doped InGaAs/InAlAs multi-quantum well system. Thicknesses of well and barrier were 5 and 10 nm. Three highly-doped specimens having about 1 x 10(12) cm(-2) per one quantum well were prepared by MBE. Double-crystal X-ray diffraction was used to check the crystal quality. Heavy electron effective masses: almost 50%-bigger than the band edge mass of 0.041m(0), mere measured by far-infrared and infrared cyclotron resonances under pulse high magnetic fields up to 100 T. Nonparabolicity of this subband was less than 12% by comparing the two cyclotron resonances. Observed two-dimensional subband structure was quite different from conduction band in a direction perpendicular to the same quantum well and from that of GaAs/GaAlAs quantum well system.
