Abstract
Far infrared magneto-absorption experiments have been performed at 4.2K on MBE-grown GaAs/AlGaAs MQW heterostructures that were selectively doped with Si donors in the centers of the quantum wells and barrier layers. Data were obtained for several values of dopant concentration in the barriers in order to study in detail the binding of electrons in the quantum wells to positively charged ions in the barriers and the effects of the screening of the Coulomb interaction by free carriers. The results are compared with recent calculations.
