Abstract
A detailed experimental investigation is presented of beryllium acceptors confined in quantum well structures in the presence of an applied magnetic field. A number of features related to the transitions between the acceptor ground and excited states are reported: (1) the satellites corresponding to the acceptor transition involving the different components and of the acceptor bound exciton (BE), where the labels of the exciton states are according to coupling theory (or the cubic crystal-field scheme); (2) the detailed splitting of the acceptor transition involving the lowest acceptor BE state and (3) a component of the acceptor transition. In addition to this, the magnetic field dependence of these transitions is investigated experimentally, and the results are compared with theoretical predictions based on existing theory.
