We present an experimental study of the terahertz emission from InxGa1−xAs epitaxial layers that were grown while varying the alloy fraction x. We observe the terahertz emission that is significantly different depending on the variation direction of the alloy fraction. We attribute the difference to the significant change of the band bending induced in the growth direction and to the position-dependent variation of the effective mass.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
