Photoluminescence of CdTe/CdMgTe Double Quantum Wells with a Two-Dimensional Electron Gas

Magnetophotoluminescence measurements at liquid helium temperatures were carried out on asymmetric double quantum wells based on CdTe/CdMgTe heterostructures. Due to doping with shallow iodine donors, a two-dimensional electron gas was present in the quantum wells. The samples studied differed with the quantum well widths and doping level. We show a resemblance of the luminescence to results obtained on single quantum wells which suggests that in samples studied the quantum wells are not strongly coupled.
