Abstract
Time-resolved magneto-photoluminescence was employed to study the magnetic field induced quantum phase transition separating two phases with different distributions of electrons over quantum wells in an aperiodic multiple quantum well, embedded in a wide AlGaAs parabolic quantum well. Intensities, broadenings and recombination times attributed to the photoluminescence lines emitted from individual quantum wells of the multiple quantum well structure were measured as a function of the magnetic field near the transition. The presented data manifest themselves to the magnetic field driven migration of the free electrons between the quantum wells of the studied multiple quantum well structure. The observed charge transfer was found to influence the screening of the multiple quantum well and disorder potentials. Evidence of the localization of the electrons in the peripheral quantum wells in strong magnetic field is presented.
