Optically induced variability of strain-induced electric fields and band structure in (111) GaSb/AISb quantum wells

Benjamin V. Shanabrook and Wen I. Wang

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

As a consequence of the piezoelectric effect and the strain induced from pseudomorphic growth, quantum wells grown in the (111) direction from III-V materials are expected to exhibit large built-in electric fields. We show that these built-in fields can be reduced or screened by the optical generation of electon-hole pairs.
