Abstract

The influence of intersubband mixing in quantum wells of semiconductors with zinc-blende structure is studied both experimentally and theoretically. A multiband magnetoexciton model is described which takes into account k . p mixing between valence subbands and the effective Coulomb interaction for an arbitrary confinement potential shape. Theoretical results reproduce very well the photoluminescence excitation spectra of GaAs/AlGaAs single quantum wells of various widths. In particular, the characteristic avoided crossing between the lowest light-hole exciton Landau level and excited heavy-hole exciton Landau level occurring at σ— polarization is accurately described by our theory.
