We report novel femtosecond time‐resolved measurements performed on staggered type II GaAs/AlAs multiple quantum well structures. Photoexcited electrons were determined to transfer from the Γ valley of the GaAs layers to the X valleys of the AlAs in 100 and 400 fs for 8‐ and 11‐monolayer‐thick GaAs samples, respectively.

A continuum theory for the deposition and growth of solid films is presented. The theory is developed in a coordinate-independent manner and so incorporates the fully nonlinear physics. The evolution of the film is modeled in three steps. First, the adsorption of atoms in the incident beam is modeled as a ballistic process. Second, the random motion of the adatoms is treated as a diffusive process. Finally, sticking of adatoms to the film occurs as a Poisson process. The resulting system of differential equations is examined in several parameter limits. The diffusively dominated limit appears similar to zone 1 of …
