Description

Heterostructures with a single InAs1-xSbx/AlSb1-yAsy quantum well (QW) on (001) GaSb substrates have been grown by MBE and studied using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. High-intensity PL was observed at a temperature of 80 K, with a peak half-width of 30-50 meV and a peak wavelength in the range from 2 to 4.5 μm, depending on the QW width, which varied between 4 and 20 nm, respectively. The fundamental absorption edge of such QWs was calculated for a wide range of alloy compositions, x and y. Good correlation between the experimental and calculated dependences of the band gap on the InAsSb/AlSbAs QW thickness was obtained
