Abstract
Magnetophotoluminescence (PL) measurements are performed on Ga xIn1-xP/AlGaInP quantum wells with CuPt-type long-range ordering. Curve-fitting and second-order derivative operations are conducted, respectively, on the PL spectra, and two different PL components are identified with an energetic separation of about 5-25 meV. Obvious diamagnetic shift can be observed only for the PL component with higher energy, indicating the excitonic feature of the related PL transition. The in-(001)-plane exciton reduced effective mass and binding energy are evaluated based solely on the excitonic PL component, by a quasi-two-dimensional exciton effective mass approximation. The results suggest that the ordering competes with compressive strain, and enlarges the exciton reduced effective mass and binding energy. The enlargement is discussed and a comparison with previous reports is given.
