Determination of hole g-factor in InAs/InGaAs/InAlAs quantum wells by magneto-photoluminescence studies

A circularly polarized magneto-photoluminescence (magneto-PL) technique has been applied to investigate the Zeeman effect in InAs/InGaAs/InAlAs quantum wells (QWs) in the Faraday geometry. Structures with different thicknesses of the QW barriers have been studied in the magnetic field parallel and tilted with respect to the sample normal. The effective electron-hole g-factor has been found by measurement of splitting of polarized magneto-PL lines. Lande factors of electrons have been calculated using the 14-band k.p method, and the g-factor of holes was determined by subtracting the calculated contribution of the electrons from the effective electron-hole g-factor. Anisotropy of the hole g-factor has been studied applying the tilted magnetic field. Published by AIP Publishing
