Abstract

Recent work on defect related phenomena in heterojunctions and quantum well structures is reviewed. These include situations in which quantum wells behave as deep traps and the use of shallow and deep centers as new tools for band structure engineering. Among the latter tunable band discontinuities and the artificial tailoring of superlattice states via δ-doping techniques are discussed.
