✦ Synopsis
We have studied different strained InGaAs/GaAs ultrathin quantum wells grown on vicinal surfaces for various terrace lengths and In contents. From photoluminescence experiments we observe an enhancement of the continuum density of states of quantum wells with large In content ( (x=0.35) ). We associate this behavior with the localization of carriers in regions of quasi one-dimensional confinement which are induced by fluctuations in the lateral periodicity of the strained layers. This assumption is supported by time resolved measurements as well.

We studied the optical properties of GaAs/Al 0X35 Ga 0X65 As asymmetric double quantum wells at T 4X2 K and in the presence of in-plane magnetic fields up to 20 T. In an electric field F 8 45 kV/cm, electrons and holes are respectively confined in the wide and narrow well and form spatially indirect
A photoluminescence study of highly doped tensile-strained GaAs quantum wells is made to in¨estigate the feasibility of achie¨ing polarization-independent photodetection. A simulation procedure to predict the photoluminescence peaks is also de¨eloped which shows good agreement with the experimental
