Breaking of the usual selection rule for magnetoluminescence in doped semiconductor quantum wells

  • 1. Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87185

Description

We present experimental and theoretical evidence for impurity-assisted off-diagonal (i.e., Δn>0) transitions between conduction- and valence-band Landau levels (n = 0,1,. . . ) for magnetoluminescence in modulation-doped degenerate semiconductor quantum wells. This new selection rule is employed to determine simultaneously the optical effective masses of the electrons and in-plane light holes in n-type strained GaAs/InGaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells
