Popis: A blue-shift of photoluminescence peak energy with laser excitation power is observed in the lattice-matched GaAs/InGaP heterostructure at pressures high enough that the InGaP bandgaps are indirect. The transition energy from the InGaP X-conduction band minima to GaAs Γ-valence maximum increases linearly at low laser power and saturates at higher power, after a shift of 55 meV. The transition energy from the GaAs X-conduction minima to Γ-valence maximum remains unchanged. The results are explained on the basis of the electric field induced by excess carriers.
