Abstract
The photoluminescence study of Fermi-edge singularity (FES) in modulation-doped pseudomorphic Al x Ga1−x As/In y Ga1−y As/GaAs quantum well (QW) heterostructures is presented. In the above QW structures the optical transitions between n = 1 and n = 2 electronic subband to the n = 1 heavy hole subband (E 11 and E 21 transitions, respectively) are observed with FES appearing as a lower energy shoulder to the E 21 transition. The observed FES is attributed to the Fermi wave vector in the first electronic subband under the conditions of population of the second electronic subband. The FES appears at about 10 meV below E 21 transition around 4·2 K. Initially it gets stronger with increasing temperature and becomes a distinct peak at about 20 K. Further increase in temperature quenches FES and reaches the base line at around 40 K.
