Abstract
Doping superlattices, consisting of thin alternating p- and n-doped layers, have an indirect band gap in real space due to the internal electric field that results from the migration of electrons from the donors to the acceptors.1 Tunneling-assisted electron-hole recombination leads to photoluminescence at this effective band gap energy,2 and tunneling-assisted absorption is possible at photon energies between the effective band gap and the direct (bulk) band gap.3
