We report on the effects of field-induced -X resonances on carrier transport and optical properties of GaAs/AlAs type-I short-period superlattices (SLs). We have observed an anomalously delayed photocurrent and 2-hh1 photoluminescence originating from X1-2 mixing. These observations clearly suggest

โฆ Synopsis
The temperature dependence of the recombination dynamics of excitons is investigated by time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy in (GaAs) n /(AlAs) n superlattices, where n denotes the layer thickness in monolayers, for different types of band structures. In directgap superlattices with a layer thickness of the order or larger than the exciton Bohr radius, the carrier dynamics is dominated by the transfer from light-hole to heavy-hole excitons. When the layer thickness becomes smaller than the exciton radius, the dynamics of free excitons is controlled by localization. vb In quasi-direct and indirect-gap superlattices, the influence of lateral potential fluctuations due to interface roughness completely governs exciton recombination.

We present the first identification of the direct participation of the GaAs interface (IF) mode in the phonon-assisted recombinations from type-II GaAs/AlAs short-period superlattices (SPSL). This is achieved by utilizing a novel first-order resonant Raman process associated with the type-II X z -ba
