Abstract
We present realistic effective-mass calculations of electron and exciton states in [311] GaAs/AlAs corrugated quantum wells (QW’s) taking into consideration a finite barrier potential and flux-conserving boundary conditions. One-dimensional minibands are formed in the periodic lateral corrugation potential. Light- and heavy-hole exciton binding energies are calculated as a function of QW effective width and discussed in connection with existing experimental data.
