摘要
Wannier-Stark localization in strained-layer InxGa1-xAs-GaAs superlattices is measured using electroreflectance (ER) spectroscopy at 4.5 K. Analysis of the ER data reveals third-derivative line shapes for two samples biased near flat band, which become more first-derivative-like at high applied fields. The exciton transition energies obtained from the line-shape analysis are in good agreement with both photocurrent measurements and exciton Stark ladder calculations for fields greater than 5 kV cm-1. The flat-band ER spectra of the two superlattices reveal distinct features due to their finite sizes, not predicted by the Kronig-Penney model.
