摘要
The band line-up of InAsP/lnP heterojunctions was investigated. The conduction-band discontinuity ratio Q(c) of strained InAsP alloys was determined by fitting the well thickness dependence of transition energies in InAsP quantum wells. This method does not require precise values of deformation potentials of InAsP, allowing mon reliable determination of the band offset. The obtained Q(c) value was 0.35, which is relatively small compared to previous reports. This value of the band offset is consistent with the predictions from the semi-empirical linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) model.
