We report a systematic study of several GaAs-Al(x)Ga(1-x)As semiconductor superlattices grown by molecular-beam epitaxy specifically designed to explore the existence of extended states in random dimer superlattices. We have confirmed our previous results [V. Bellani et al., Phys. Rev.

Abstract

We report a systematic study of several GaAs-Al(x)Ga(1-x)As semiconductor superlattices grown by molecular-beam epitaxy specifically designed to explore the existence of extended states in random dimer superlattices. We have confirmed our previous results [V. Bellani et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 2159 (1999)] with much additional evidence that allows us to lay claim to a clear-cut experimental verification of the presence of extended states in random dimer superlattices due to the short-range correlations (dimers) that inhibit the localization effects of the disorder.
