摘要
An experimental study of the hole effective mass was conducted in a series of five remotely doped InSb quantum wells under biaxial compressive strain. From cyclotron resonance measurements at 4.2 K, an increase in hole effective mass was observed with increasing hole density in otherwise similar structures from 0.045m(e) at 2.1 x 10(11) cm(-2) to 0.083m(e) at 5.1 x 10(11) cm(-2). The smallest effective mass (0.017me) was observed in the quantum well with the largest compressive strain (1.05%) and narrowest well width (7 nm). Our measurements are in qualitative agreement with theoretical expectations. (C) 2011 American Vacuum Society. [DOI: 10.1116/1.3553457]
