摘要
Spectra of magnetoplasma excitations have been investigated in two-dimensional electron systems in AlAs quantum wells (QWs) of different widths. The magnetoplasma spectrum has been found to change profoundly when the quantum well width becomes thinner than 5.5 nm, indicating a drastic change in the conduction electron energy spectrum. The transformation can be interpreted in terms of transition from the in-plane strongly anisotropic X-x - X-y valley occupation to the out-of-plane isotropic X-z valley in the QW plane. Strong enhancement of the cyclotron effective mass over the band value in narrow AlAs QWs is reported.
