We present the experimental results of time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy in type II GaAs/GaAs0.64Sb0.36 quantum well heterostructures. At moderate optical excitation densities (below 103 W/cm2), we observe blue shift of the photoluminescence peak with increasing pump power which results from band bending at the type II heterointerface due to photo-excited charge carriers. With further increase in the excitation density, the observed peak undergoes red shift accompanied by significant drop in the luminescence decay time (from 10 ns to 1 ns) which is caused by extreme band bending and increasing contribution of type I radiative transitions to the photoluminescence signal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
