In this work we study the phase diagram of indirect excitons in coupled quantum wells and show that the system undergoes a phase transition to an unbound electron-hole plasma. This transition is manifested as an abrupt change in the photoluminescence linewidth and peak energy at some critical power density and temperature. By measuring the exciton diamagnetism, we show that the transition is associated with an abrupt increase in the exciton radius. We find that the transition is stimulated by the presence of direct excitons in one of the wells and show that they serve as a catalyst of the transition. 相似文献

We observe and analyze strongly nonlinear photoluminescence kinetics of indirect excitons in GaAs/AlGaAs coupled quantum wells at low bath temperatures, > or = 50 mK. The long recombination lifetime of indirect excitons promotes accumulation of these Bose particles in the lowest energy states and allows the photoexcited excitons to cool down to temperatures where the dilute 2D gas of indirect excitons becomes statistically degenerate. Our main result--a strong enhancement of the exciton scattering rate to the low-energy states with increasing concentration of the indirect excitons--reveals bosonic stimulation of exciton scattering, which is a signature of a degenerate Bose-gas of excitons. 相似文献

Exciton states in Zn(Cd)Se/ZnMgSSe quantum wells with different diffusion spreading of interfaces are studied by optical spectroscopy methods. It is shown that the emission spectrum of quantum wells at low temperatures is determined by free excitons and bound excitons on neutral donors. The nonlinear dependence of the stationary photoluminescence intensity on the excitation power density and the biexponential luminescence decay are explained by the neutralization of charged defects upon photoexcitation of heterostructures. With the stationary illumination on, durable (about 40 min) reversible changes in the reflection coefficient near the exciton resonances of quantum wells are observed. It is shown that, along with the shift of exciton levels, the spreading of heteroboundaries leads to three effects: an increase in the excitonphonon interaction, an increase in the energy shift between the emission lines of free and bound excitons, and a decrease in the decay time of exciton luminescence in a broad temperature range. The main reasons for these effects are discussed. 相似文献

Luminescence and luminescence excitation spectra are used to study the energy spectrum and binding energies of direct and
spatially indirect excitons in GaAs/AlaAs superlattices, with different widths of the electron and hole minibands, located
in a high magnetic field perpendicular to the heterolayers. It is found that the ground state of the indirect excitons formed
by electrons and holes and spatially separated between neighboring quantum wells lies between the ls ground state of the direct excitons and the continuum threshold for dissociated exciton states in the minibands. Indirect
excitons in superlattices have a significant oscillator strength when the binding energy of the exciton exceeds the order
of the width of the resulting miniband. The behavior of the binding energy of direct and indirect heavy hole excitons during
changes in the tunneling coupling between the quantum wells is established. It is shown that a strong magnetic field, which
intensifies the Coulomb interaction between the electron and hole in an exciton, weakens the bond in a system of symmetrically
bound quantum wells. The spatially indirect excitons studied here are analogous to first order Wannier-Stark localized excitons
in superlattices with inclined bands (when an electrical bias is applied), but in the present case the localization is of
purely Coulomb origin.

Luminescence and luminescence excitation spectra are used to study the energy spectrum and binding energies of direct and
spatially indirect excitons in GaAs/AlGaAs superlattices having different electron and hole miniband widths in high magnetic
fields perpendicular to the heterolayers. The ground state of the indirect excitons formed by electrons and holes which are
spatially distributed among neighboring quantum wells is found to lie between the ground 1s state of the direct excitons and the threshold of the continuum of dissociated exciton states in the minibands. The indirect
excitons have a substantial oscillator strength when the binding energy of the exciton exceeds the scale of the width of the
resulting miniband. It is shown that a high magnetic field shifts a system of symmetrically bound quantum wells toward weaker
bonding. At high exciton concentrations, spatially indirect excitons are converted into direct excitons through exciton-exciton
collisions.

The lifetime of electrostatically trapped indirect excitons in a field-effect structure based on coupled AlGaN/GaN quantum wells has been theoretically studied. Within the plane of a double quantum well, indirect excitons are trapped between the surfaces of the AlGaN/GaN heterostructures and a semitransparent metallic top gate. The trapping mechanism has been assumed to be a combination of the quantum confined Stark effect and local field enhancement. In order to study the trapped exciton lifetime, the binding energy of indirect excitons in coupled quantum wells is calculated by finite difference method in the presence of an electric field. Thus, the lifetime of trapped excitons is computed as a function of well width, AlGaN barrier width, the position of double quantum well in the device and applied voltage. 相似文献

The evolution of indirect exciton luminescence in AlAs/GaAs coupled quantum wells after excitation by pulsed laser radiation
has been studied in strong magnetic fields (B⩽12 T) at low temperatures (T⩾1.3 K), both in the normal regime and under conditions of anomalously fast exciton transport, which is an indication of the
onset of exciton superfluidity. The energy relaxation rate of indirect excitons measured in the range of relaxation times
between several and several hundreds of nanoseconds is found to be controlled by the properties of the exciton transport,
specifically, this parameter increases with the coefficient of excitonic diffusion. This behavior is qualitatively explained
in terms of migration of excitons between local minima of the random potential in the plane of the quantum well.

We report on the photoluminescence (PL) properties of a GaAs (20 nm)/AlAs (20 nm) multiple quantum well under high-density-excitation conditions at excitation energies near the fundamental exciton energies. The biexciton-PL band is dominant in a relatively low-excitation-power region. The PL originating from exciton–exciton scattering, the so-called P emission, suddenly appears with an increase in excitation power. The excitation-energy dependence of the intensity of the P-PL band indicates that the excitation energy higher than the fundamental heavy-hole exciton by the energy of the longitudinal optical (LO) phonon is the most efficient for the P PL. This suggests that the LO-phonon scattering plays an important role in the relaxation process of excitons leading to the P PL. The appearance of the P-PL band remarkably suppresses the intensity of the biexciton-PL band; namely, the exciton–exciton scattering process prevents the formation of biexcitons. Furthermore, we have confirmed the existence of optical gain due to the exciton–exciton scattering process with use of a variable-stripe-length method. 相似文献

我们利用光荧光(PL)以及时间分辨光谱(TRPL)研究了用MBE生长在GaAs衬底上的GaNAs/GaAs量子阱的激子局域化以及退局域化.研究发现,在低温下用连续光(Cw)激发,由于GaNAs中势振荡所产生的局域激子发光是所测量到光谱的主要发光来源.然而在脉冲激发下,情况完全不同.在高载流子密度激发或者高温下GaNAs/GaAs量子阱中例外,一个高能端的PL峰成为了主要的发光来源.通过研究,我们将这个新的发光峰指认为量子阱中非局域激子复合的PL峰.这个发光峰在温度和激发强度的变化过程中与局域激子相互竞争.我们相信这一过程也是许多文献所报道的在InGaN和AlGaN等氮化物中经常观测到的发光峰位随温度"S"形变化的主要根源. 相似文献

The luminescence and luminescence excitation spectra of CdSe/ZnSe quantum dots are studied in a set of double quantum wells with the ZnSe barrier of width 14 nm, the same amount of a deposited CdSe layer forming a deep well and shallow wells with different depths. It is found that for a certain relation between the depths of shallow and deep wells in this set, conditions are realized under which the exciton channel in the luminescence excitation spectrum of a shallow well dominates in the region of kinetic exciton energies exceeding 10 longitudinal optical phonons above the bottom of the exciton band of the ZnSe barrier. A model is developed for the transfer of electrons, holes, and excitons between the electronic states of shallow and deep quantum wells separated by wide enough barriers. It is shown that the most probable process of electronic energy transfer between the states of shallow and deep quantum wells is indirect tunneling with the simultaneous excitation of a longitudinal optical phonon in the lattice. Because the probability of this process for single charge carriers considerably exceeds the exciton tunneling probability, a system of double quantum wells can be prepared in which, in the case of weak enough excitation, the states of quantum dots in shallow quantum wells will be mainly populated by excitons, which explains experimental results obtained. 相似文献

Direct and indirect excitons in coupled quantum wells and in coupled quantum dots are studied. We consider excitons with two-dimensional, quasi-two-dimensional and three-dimensional carriers. Problems were investigated for a wide range of characteristic parameters—confining to potential steepness, distances between quantum wells or dots, effective width of wells and magnetic fields. The mutual influence of the controlling parameters of the problem on exciton properties is analyzed. Energy and wave function spectra were calculated and dispersion law and effective masses were obtained. 相似文献

The tunability of the emission energy, oscillator strength and photoluminescence (PL) efficiency by varying the well thickness and excitation density was demonstrated in the ZnSe0.8Te0.2/ZnSe multiple quantum wells. A significant blueshift about 260 meV of the PL peak energy was observed as the well width decreased from 5 to 1 nm. An extraordinary long lifetime (300 ns) of the recombination for the widest sample was detected. The binding energy of the indirect excitons is determined as 12 meV for the thinnest sample. The reduction of PL efficiency by thermal energy is greatly suppressed by employing a high excitation power. 相似文献

The ratio of the densities of intra-and interwell excitons in a symmetric system of coupled quantum wells — a superlattice
based on a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure — is investigated over a wide range of optical excitation power densities. Conversion
of interwell excitons into intrawell excitons as a result of exciton-exciton collisions is observed at high exciton densities.
Direct evidence for such a conversion mechanism is the square-root dependence of the interwell exciton density on the optical
excitation level. The decrease in the lifetime of interwell excitons with increasing excitation density, as measured directly
by time-resolved spectroscopy methods, confirms the explanation proposed for the effect.

A dipole-oriented two-dimensional exciton system in electrically biased GaAs/AlGaAs coupled quantum wells has been studied through photoluminescence. The system has a sample-dependent built-in random potential which traps excitons at low temperature. The average photoluminescence photon energy shows a sudden reduction when the excitation intensity exceeds a critical value at low temperatures. This suggests a phase transition from a Bose glass to superfluid phase. 相似文献

A Mach-Zehnder interferometer with spatial and spectral resolution was used to probe spontaneous coherence in cold exciton gases, which are implemented experimentally in the ring of indirect excitons in coupled quantum wells. A strong enhancement of the exciton coherence length is observed at temperatures below a few Kelvin. The increase of the coherence length is correlated with the macroscopic spatial ordering of excitons. The coherence length at the lowest temperature corresponds to a very narrow spread of the exciton momentum distribution, much smaller than that for a classical exciton gas. 相似文献

Hot exciton relaxation is observed in GaAs/Al

As multiple quantum wells. The photolumnescence excitation spectra of the localized exciton emission at low temperatures and excitation densities are composed of narrow equidistant peaks exactly separated by the GaAs LO-phonon energy (36 meV). The relaxation mechanism via LO-phonons is found to be important for localized excitons in multiple quantum wells with GaAs layer thicknesses of about 50 Å, where pronounced alloy fluctuations in the barriers provide a strong additional lateral potential which suppresses the dissociation of hot excitons. 相似文献
