Abstract

AbstractWe report on a theoretical and experimental investigation of magneto‐absorption in quantum wells (QWs) in the presence of a uniform in‐plane electric field. From a simple theoretical model a linear real‐space shift of the electron Landau level wave functions relative to the hole counterparts is expected under increasing in‐plane electric field. As a result, quadratic Stark shifts, fading of the zero‐field allowed transitions, and increasing oscillator strength for the originally forbidden transitions are predicted. These predictions are confirmed by experiments on GaAs/AlGaAs‐QWs and found to be in reasonably good agreement with simulations based on a simple model. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
