The SLs possess C 2v symmetry in the ideal condition. At successive IFs, if In-Sb bonds lie in the (110) plane, while In-As bonds lie in the (1 0) plane. Linearly polarized light propagates along the (001) direction. When the polarized direction is parallel to [110] and [1 0] directions, it feels different chemical bonds at IFs. As a result, the optical properties
along the [110] and [1 0] directions are different. In the RDS spectra, InSb features were not observed learn more clearly in room temperature, since the features of E 0, E 1, and E 1+Δ 1CPs are very broadening with few ML [24]. This effect is identified as the spread of carrier wave function of the ultra-thin IF to surrounding layers. Figure 6a shows the Δ E c and Δ E v of unstrained GaAs, InAs, InSb, and GaSb system at Γ point [25, 26]. E 1and E 1+Δ 1take place Temsirolimus in vivo along the Λ directions of the Brillouin zone
where the valence and conduction bands are nearly parallel. The energy gap of L and Λ are nearly equal. We have inferred the band alignment of L point in Figure 6b. The reflectance peaks of L transitions are not observed, since these transitions are too weak or hidden in the Λ transition structures [22]. In Figure 6b, the Λ 1conduction band offset between InAs and GaSb is 0.234 eV, and the Λ 3valence band offset is 0.544 eV. The staggered band alignment of bulk materials imply that in every InAs/GaSb SL, there is a InAs-like conduction band minimum and GaSb-like valence
band maximum. The Λ 3valence band of InSb is much higher than GaSb, and the Λ 1conduction band is much higher than InAs. The Λ 3valence band splits into Λ (4,5)and Λ 6since the spin-orbital interaction. The red lines show the Λ 6energy positions. The Λ 6band of InSb is higher than Λ (4,5)band of InAs. As the thickness of InSb layers is increasing Palbociclib in vivo from 0.43 to 1.29 ML, compared to sample A, the effect of quantum well structures is enhanced. More holes are localized in InSb layers. However, there is no such effect for the GaAs layer. The IPOA intensities of CP1, CP2, and the shoulder-like CP about InSb are increased. While the IPOA intensities of CP3 are decreased and the transition energy position of CP2 are anomalous, blue shift may attribute to the coupling of these states. Figure 6 Band alignments of InAs, GaAs, GaSb and InSb binary system. (a) At Γ point of Brillouin zone. (b) At L point of Brillouin zone. The red lines are the spin-orbital splitting energies at L point. Conclusions The IPOA of InAs/GaSb SLs with InAs-like and GaSb-like alternate IFs were observed by RDS. The main mechanism can attribute to the symmetry reduction to C 2v .
