Abstract

We used the surface photovoltage spectroscopy(SPVS) for characterization of GaAs/Al\ulcornerGa\ulcornerAs multi-quantum well(MQW) structures grown by molecular beam epitaxy(MBE) method. Energy gap related transitions in GaAs and AlGaAs were observed. The Al composition(x=0.3) was determined by Sek's composition formula. Transition energies in MQW were determined using the differential surface photo-volatage spectroscopy)DSPVS) of the measured resonanced. In order to indentify the transitions, the experimentally observed energies were compared with results of the envelope function approximation for a rectangular quantum well. We have observed and interesting behavior of the temperature dependence(80K~300K) of the 11Hand 11L transition for sample.
