Optical study of an n-type modulation-doped GaAs/AlAs multiple quantum well structure

Abstract
We present an optical study (photoluminescence and Raman scattering) of a GaAs/AlAs multiple quantum well structure doped n‐type in the AlAs barriers. The photoluminescence shows that the Si donors of the barriers release their electrons in the GaAs wells, creating a dense quasi‐two‐dimensional electron gas. The Raman spectra contain a feature associated with the e1e2 intersubband transition.
