Observation of superlattice effects on the electronic bands of multilayer heterostructures
Abstract
Electroreflectance measurements have been performed on the GaAs-Ga1-xAlxAs superlattice, and the observed structure has been related to interband transitions at different points of the Brillouin zone. For increasing x the energies of these transitions shift progressively to higher values with respect to those of bulk GaAs, indicating the effect of the superlattice potential on the band structure beyond the zone center. In contrast, similar shifts observed in In1-x Gax As-GaSb1-y Asy only occur for x,y>0.2, an anomaly arising from its unusual periodic potential. © 1981 The American Physical Society.
