Abstract

Photoluminescence measurements in magnetic fields up to 10 T on a 80 nm wide modulation doped (InGa)As/InP quantum well are reported. Magneto-luminescence from three electron subbands is observed. Magneto-transport measurements (with B both perpendicular and parallel to the plane of the well) also demonstrate occupancy of three subbands. Discontinuities in the Landau level transition energies observed in photoluminescence at certain field values are interpreted in terms of charge redistribution effects between the subbands.
