Abstract

A scanning tunneling microscope combined with an optical probe was used to determine the electronic and optical properties of InAsxP1-x/InP quantum well structures. The measured optical spectra at 295 K exhibit well resolved transitions attributable to interband transitions involving the heavy hole valence band and the n = 1 conduction sub-band. The observed transition energies are in good agreement with values measured using conventional photoconductivity and photoluminescence spectroscopy on the same samples. The potential of this technique for the local determination of the electronic and optical properties of semiconductor nanostructures is considered.
