摘要
We report a far-infrared absorption study of internal transitions of shallow Be acceptors in both bulk GaAs and a series of δ-doped GaAs/AlAs multiple quantum well samples with well thicknesses of 20, 15 and 10 nm. Low temperature far-infrared absorption measurements clearly show three principal absorption lines due to transitions of Beacceptor states from the ground state to the first three odd-parity excited states, respectively. Using a variational principle, the 2p-1s transition energies of quantum confined Be acceptors are calculated as a function of the well width. It is found that the theoretical calculation of the 2pz → 1s transitions is in good agreement with the D-like line experimental data.
