Abstract

Photoluminescence (PL) results from a novel modulation doped AlGaAs/ low-temperature molecular beam epitaxially-grown-GaAs (LT-GaAs MODFET) heterostructure are reported. A new PL line at 1.65 eV is consistently observed in all the LT-GaAs MODFET structures investigated. A spatially indirect transition from a two-dimensional electron gas at the heterojunction interface to the holes in AlGaAs is believed to be responsible for the observed 1.65 eV PL line. LT-GaAs MODFET structures in which LT-GaAs region is grown at 350 °C show additional lines lying in the band edge region as well as deep inside the band gap region of LT-GaAs.
