We study inhomogeneous doping effects on the confinement properties of modulationdoped single nonabrupt GaAs/Al x Ga 1-x As quantum wells. We describe the inhomogeneous doping using error function profiles, and we solve self-consistently the coupled Schrödinger (with a position dependent kinetic ene

✦ Synopsis
The electron energy levels in doped nonabrupt GaAs/Al x Ga 1-x As single quantum wells 100 Å wide are calculated. Interface widths varying from zero to four GaAs unit cells are taken into account, as well as band bendings of 0-90 meV. It is shown that interface effects on the energy levels are important and sensitive to the level of doping. When interfaces of only two GaAs unit cells and a band bending of 40 meV are considered, the ground-state (first excited state) energy level shifts toward energies as high as 4 meV (20 meV).
