The band offset of the type-ll GaAso.,Sbo.,1GaAs quantum well (Qw) is studied. We propose an extrapolation method to remove the band-bending effect and determine the flat-band transition energy of the type-I1 QW from photoluminescence (PL) measurement. Then, we compare the PL peak energies of the type-II GaAso.+bo,,/GaAs QW and the type4 Alo.,G%,7As/ GaAso.,Sbo,l QW to obtain the strained band gap energy of GaAso.7Sbo.3 and the valence-band-offset ratio of the type-ll QW. The obtained band gap energy and valence-band-offset ratio are 1.01 eV and 1.15. GaAsSbiGaAs double-quantum-well lasers were also grown and fabricated. The laser demonstrates a very low threshold current density of 210 Ncm' with an emission wavelength of 1.28pm.
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.
