Temperature Dependence of the Intervalley Deformation Potential of GaAs/AlAs Superlattices Under Hydrostatic Pressure
ABSTRACTWe have studied the pressure dependence of the type-I and type-II transitions in (GaAs)m/(AlAs)m superlattices by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. From the study of PL linewidths of the type-I exciton as a function of pressure and temperature, we determine the intervalley deformation potential. Beyond the type-I and type-II crossover, the PL linewidth increases both as a function of pressure and temperature. We find that the electron-phonon deformation potential for Γ-X intervalley scattering varies with temperature.
