[22a-A404-1] Dimensionality reduction in the valence-band structure of a III-V semiconductor InSb ultra-thin film
Keywords:angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, quantum well, semiconductor
To verify the electronic dimensionality reduction in semiconductor QW, we have conducted SX-ARPES measurements on thick and ultrathin InSb films. In addition to the dissipation of the k[001] dispersion, the SX-ARPES observations demonstrate the changes of the symmetry and periodicity of BZ in the ultrathin film as 2D QW compared with these of the 3D bulk one, indicating the electronic dimensionality reduction of the 3D bulk band dispersion caused by the quantum confinement.
