Using a variational procedure within the effective mass approximation, the mixing between the Γ and X conduction band valleys in GaAs‐Ga 1– x Al x As quantum wells is investigated by taking into account the effect of applied hydrostatic pressure. Some optical properties such as donor and/or acceptor binding energy and impurity‐related transition energies are calculated and comparisons with available experimental data are presented.
