摘要：
We have investigated type-I/type-II transitions in MBE-grown 20, 35, and 50 Angstrom GaAs/AlAs single quantum wells using photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The 20 and 50 Angstrom wells show a type-I peak, while the 35 Angstrom well has PL peaks corresponding to both type-I and type-II transitions. Peak assignment for the 35 Angstrom-well sample is based upon excitation intensity dependent measurements, and the strength of the type-II transition in this sample is attributed to Gamma-X mixing. Superperiodicity has been put forth as a possible explanation for Gamma-X mixing effects in superlattice structures, but the observation of this phenomenon in a single quantum well structure suggests that superperiodicity is not required for Gamma-X mixing to occur.
