Photoreflectance (PR) and photoluminescence (PL) have been applied to study the band structure and PL thermal quenching for Ga0.24In0.76Sb/GaSb quantum wells (QWs) of the widths varying from 10 to 21 nm. In the case of PR spectra, a strong GaSb-related resonance followed by Franz–Keldysh oscillations and PR resonances associated with optical transitions between the QW ground and the excited states have been clearly observed. The QW transitions have been identified on the basis of theoretical calculations which were performed in the framework of the effective mass model. Satisfactory agreement between theoretical calculations and experimental data has been found for the conduction band offset of ∼80%–85% that is consistent with the theoretical predictions, which were obtained within the “model-solid” theory. In the case of PL measurements, a very efficient QW emission without any localization features has been observed in the temperature range of 10–280 K. It has been concluded that the thermal quenching o...
