摘要：
We have investigated the influence of type-I to type-II transition by an applied electric field on photoluminescence and carrier transport by time-of-flight experiments in GaAs/AlAs short-period superlattices. Type-I to type-II transition was confirmed by observing degenerated photoluminescence spectra caused by Gamma-X mixing. The rise time of the time-resolved photocurrent was found to increase by the type-I to type-II transition. This result clearly shows that the tunneling time through type-II alignment is longer than that through type-I alignment. The delayed carrier transport is most likely caused by Gamma-X-Gamma transfer. The results suggest that in type-II superlattices, carriers prefer Gamma-X-Gamma transfer to Gamma-Gamma sequential tunneling.
