Abstract

Anomalously large real space charge transfer through thick barriers in GaAs asymmetric double quantum wells is studied. This inter-well excitonic transfer is very large when the barrier is the Al 0.3 Ga 0.7 As alloy, but disappears when the barrier is an equivalent GaAs/AlAs digital alloy. These results combined with observed x and barrier thickness dependence suggest that the inhomogeneities in the barrier may be responsible for this transfer. This picture is supported by the quantum mechanical calculation in three dimensions.
