Abstract

Measurements of the in-plane electron effective mass in GaInAs/InP single quantum wells as a function of well thickness using far-infrared optically detected cyclotron resonance (FIR- ODCR) is reported. The FIR-ODCR technique is described, the mechanism of detection is explained, and the experimental results are compared with a theoretical calculation. In the thinnest QW investigated (80 angstroms) the in-plane mass is found to increase by about 50% compared to the bulk GaInAs value.
