8. Note that the SE spectrum of sample B (Fig. 3) also shows a weaker low-energy shoulder which is nearer to the (expected) QW band gap of the other three samples. If the barrier composition in sample B does indeed deviate significantly from nominal and there is further variation within the same (SE) sample, this might result in significantly inhomogeneous QW depths and band gaps. However, there is no evidence for such a doublet QW feature in any of the other QW spectra of sample B.
