Coulomb Driven New Bound States at the Integer Quantum Hall States in GaAs/Al(0.3)Ga(0.7)As Single Heterojunctions
Coulomb driven, magneto-optically induced electron and hole bound states from a series of heavily doped GaAs/Al(0.3)Ga(0.7)As single heterojunctions (SHJ) are revealed in high magnetic fields. At low magnetic fields (nu > 2), the photoluminescence spectra display Shubnikov de-Haas type oscillations associated with the empty second subband transition. In the regime of the Landau filling factor nu < 1 and 1 < nu <2, we found strong bound states due to Mott type localizations. Since a SHJ has an open valence band structure, these bound states are a unique property of the dynamic movement of the valence holes in strong magnetic fields.
