Abstract: | We report the measurement of the pressure dependence for the band-gap energy
and conduction-band mass
for an 80 Å-wide n-type
strained-single-quantum well at 4.2 K for pressures between 0 and 35 kbar and fields up to 30 T. The band-gap energy
, at each pressure, was determined by extrapolating the magnetoluminescence “fan-diagram” to zero magnetic field. The pressure dependence of the band-gap energy was found to be quadratic with a linear term of about 10.3 meV/kbar and a small,
, quadratic contribution. Analyses of the pressure-dependent 4.2 K magnetoluminescence data yield a conduction-band mass logarithmic pressure derivative . |
