43. x/Si heterostructure. For example, Bair T et al (Bair T et al 1994 Phys. Rev. B 50 15 191) found a type-II behaviour whereas the experiments of Houghton D C et al (Houghton D C et al 1995 Phys. Rev. Lett. 75 866) supported a type-I band alignment. Most recent PL results at very low excitation levels indicte now that the intrinsic offset is indeed of type-II (Thewalt M W L et al 1997 Phys. Rev. Lett. 79 269). These experiments also revealed that the conduction band offset is so small that optically induced charge accumulation can easily lead to an apparent type-I alignment.
