Temperature and laser energy dependencies of electron g-factors are investigated for the conduction band of In0.53Ga0.47As/In0.52Al0.48As quantum wells using the time-resolved Faraday rotation (TRFR) technique. We found that in- and out-plane g-factors are ∼−3.20 and ∼−3.50 at a temperature of 5 K for the 12-nm wide quantum wells in a tilted sample configuration of the TRFR measurement. A comparison between the experiment and the eight-band Kane model calculation shows that the thermal distribution and dilatational change of the energy gap play an important role in explaining the temperature dependence of optically measured g-factors. We also found that the measured g-factor is influenced by the laser wavelength, which clearly shows that detection energy is the one of the significant factors for determining the optically measured g-factor.
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.
