Excitonic transitions in GaInAs/GaAs surface quantum wells

Abstract
We have studied the influence of the surface on the optical properties of GaInAs/GaAs quantum wells for various top barrier thicknesses. A blue shift of the emission lines up to about 25 meV combined with a line broadening is observed for a 5 nm thick surface quantum well (20% In) without any GaAs coverage. The line broadening as well as the energy shift depend strongly on the quantum well thickness. This can be modeled by assuming a 5 eV vacuum potential at the surface.
