Abstract
The optical and electronic properties in digital alloys with various compositions grown on InP substrates by using molecular-beam epitaxy were investigated through photoluminescence (PL) measurements and numerical calculations. The electronic subband energy states, the interband transition energies, and the exciton binding energies of digital alloys and corresponding single quantum wells were calculated by using a finite difference method, taking into account two band Hamiltonian system. The numerical results for interband transitions of digital alloys were in reasonable agreement with the excitonic transitions obtained from the PL measurements.
