(color online) Schematic of energy band in the quantum wells considering an expansion caused by localized states. The carriers exhibit different behaviors under (a) open and (b) shortcircuit conditions at non-resonant absorption regime. (c) At resonant absorption edge, the carriers will no longer escape out of the well at either open or short conditions.
