The measured absorptionenergies are in the terahertz range and are interpreted by means oftight binding calculations which include self-consistent band-bendingand depolarization effects. From the comparison of experimental andnumerical results a conduction band offset along the L line of about120 meV has been estimated for the studied heterostructures.</Abstract> 2009-07-31T22:00:00Z
