Influence of electric field on the photoluminescence of δ-doped type II GaAs/AlAs superlattices

Description

The steady-state low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) of type II GaAs/AlAs superlattices (SL) under the influence of the electric field of a surface acoustic wave (SAW) has been investigated experimentally. When a SAW with a field strength of up to 6 kV/cm is applied, the excitonic PL intensity decreases considerably (by up to 50%) in an undoped SL, while it does not vary significantly in doped SLs. A simple model explaining the experimental results is discussed
