Stark Localization in GaAs-GaAlAs Superlattices under an Electric Field
Abstract
We have observed that a strong electric field $\mathcal{E}$ shifts to higher energies the photoluminescence and photocurrent peaks of a GaAs-${\mathrm{Ga}}_{0.65}$${\mathrm{Al}}_{0.35}$As superlattice of period $D$ (=65 \AA{}), which we explain by a field-induced localization of carriers to isolated quantum wells. Good agreement is found between observed and calculated shifts when the large field-induced increase of the exciton binding energy is taken into account. At moderate fields [\ensuremath{\cong}(2-3)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{4}$ V/cm], the coupling between adjacent wells is manifested by four additional peaks that shift at the rates $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}e\mathcal{E}D$ and $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}2e\mathcal{E}D$ and correspond to transitions that involve different levels of the Stark ladder.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
