Abstract

The effect of interdiffusion of Al and Ga atoms on the confining potential, band structure and absorption coefficient of electromagnetic radiation of a one-dimensional superlattice, composed of GaAs/Ga1−xAlxAs quantum wells with the initially rectangular potential profile, is studied within the framework of the modified Wood-Saxon potential model. It is shown that the interdiffusion leads to the widening of the energy minibands and to the blueshift of the absorption spectrum observed in experiments.
