Abstract

We studied the optical properties of ordered and intentionally disordered GaAs-Al(x)Ga(1-x)As superlattices, with and without dimer-type correlations in the disorder, by means of spectroscopic ellipsometry. The electronic structure of the superlattices has been calculated and compared with the experiments. The optical transitions in ordered, correlated, and uncorrelated disordered superlattices show specific features that we relate to their different electronic structures.

Applied Physics/Condensed Matter/Materials Science encompasses the resources of three related disciplines: Applied Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, and Materials Science. The applied physics resources are concerned with the applications of topics in condensed matter as well as optics, vacuum science, lasers, electronics, cryogenics, magnets and magnetism, acoustical physics and mechanics. The condensed matter physics resources are concerned with the study of the structure and the thermal, mechanical, electrical, magnetic and optical properties of condensed matter. They include superconductivity, surfaces, interfaces, thin films, dielectrics, ferroelectrics and semiconductors. The materials science resources are concerned with the physics and chemistry of materials and include ceramics, composites, alloys, metals and metallurgy, nanotechnology, nuclear materials, adhesion and adhesives. Resources dealing with polymeric materials are listed in the Organic Chemistry/Polymer Science category.
