The built-in electric field may impose a drift on charged point defects and may thus enhance or retard the intermixing during annealing. Electric field is built-in near the surface due to the pinning of surface Fermi level after argon plasma treatment on InP surfaces of InP/InGaAs quantum well sampl...
