Abstract

The results on direct observation of an anomalously large blueshift as large as 12 meV in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QW) with low residual impurity densities are discussed. Due to the imperfections at the interfaces between GaAs and Al0.25Ga0.75As, the residual donors and acceptors are most likely trapped at the interfaces. When the sample temperature is increased to 40 K, the photoluminescence peak wavelength occurs at 791 nm. The energy of this peak is larger that the lowest energy of the donor-acceptor pair transition peak at 4 K by 17.6 meV.
