Abstract

Photocurrent spectra in an In0.53Ga0.47As /In0.52Al0.48As multi-quantum wells structure containing 9.4 nm wide wells were measured at room temperature in electric fields. The exciton peaks of ground-state transitions shifted fairly in 167 kV cm−1as the quantum confined Stark effect. Stark shifts were calculated by using the Runge–Kutta method using the effective mass equation with our experimental band parameters. Our parameters are the hole effective masses and valence band offset derived from saturation of a highest eigen energy, electron effective mass depending on energies and the conduction band offset derived from observed quantum number. It was possible to sufficiently use our experimental band parameters for the calculation of the Stark shift in the electric field.
