超强磁场下非掺杂ZnSe/BeTe Ⅱ型量子阱中激子和带电激子的光学特性

报道了液态氦温度(4.2 K)下非掺杂ZnSe/BeTe Ⅱ型量子结构中ZnSe势阱层内空间直接光致发光(PL)光谱的磁场依赖性(磁场高达53 T).实验结果显示,随着磁场的增加,激子和带电激子的PL强度呈现出相反的振动行为.当激子的PL强度增加时带电激子的PL强度减小,反之,当激子的强度减小时带电激子的强度却增加.并且在整个磁场范围内,这些振动呈现近似等间隔的周期性变化.这个行为被解释为费米能级与朗道能级的周期性共振,这个共振导致了处于费米能级上的二维电子气态密度的周期性调制. 关键词： 光致发光 二维电子气 带电激子 Ⅱ型量子阱

Correlation energies of many-body complexes in biased InAs/GaAs quantum dots

The aim of this work is to analyze theoretically the correlation energies for neutral, positively, negatively charged exciton and bi-exciton. So, we propose a model consistent with experimental observations that is small InAs truncated pyramids with circular base lying on wetting layer, both buried into GaAs matrix.In a first step and in contrast to other works, we are able to evaluate coulombic interactions between electron and hole, two electrons and two holes by perturbative method at the second order. In a second step, the correlation energies of many-body complexes X, X^-, X⁺ and XX are investigated as a function of quantum dots basis radius r_c and the applied electric field.Our main goal is to provide realistic estimation for the correlation energies of excitons, charged excitons and bi-excitons while retaining at the same time a transparent formalism, which could easily be transposed to structures of actual interest.The present work provides evidence of the stability of excitons, charged excitons and bi-excitons in InAs/GaAs quantum dots. Calculated correlation energies of many-body complexes are consistent with those reported by recent photoluminescence measurements.     

Observation of charged X−and X+excitons and metal-to-insulator transition in CdTe/CdMgZnTe modulation-doped quantum wells

The positively and negatively charged excitons,X⁺andX⁻, respectively, are identified by their magnetic circular dichroism in the absorption spectra of modulation-doped CdTe/Cd_0.69Mg_0.23Zn_0.08Te multiple quantum wells at small carrier densities (≈10¹⁰cm⁻²). In these quantum wells with a width of 8 nm the binding energies of the second electron of theX⁻exciton and of the second hole of theX⁺exciton are very similar, 2.9 meV and 2.6 meV, respectively. At larger hole densities a transition to the conducting state is observed. In a sample with intermediate hole density (low 10¹¹cm⁻²) the insulating phase is restored by application of a magnetic field.     

Self-consistent calculations of exciton, biexciton and charged exciton energies in InGaN/GaN quantum dots

We present theoretical calculations of the variation of exciton energies in truncated conical InGaN quantum dots (QDs) in a GaN matrix with dot size and indium composition. We compute the built-in strain-induced and spontaneous piezoelectric fields using a surface integral method that we have recently derived, and confirm that the built-in fields can be of the order of a few MV/cm, resulting in a spatial separation of the electrons and holes. The ground state wavefunctions of the exciton (X⁰), biexciton (2X⁰) and the two charged excitons (X⁻ and X⁺) are then calculated in the Hartree approximation, using a self-consistent finite difference method. We find that the electron–hole recombination energy is always blue-shifted for the charged excitons X⁻ and X⁺, with a further blue-shift for the biexciton, and this blue-shift increases with increasing indium content. We describe the trends in interband transition energy and the scale of the blue-shift with dot size, shape and composition. We conclude that spectroscopic studies of the exciton, charged excitons and biexciton should provide a useful probe of the structural and piezoelectric properties of GaN-based QDs.     

Exciton-electron interaction in quantum wells with a two dimensional electron gas of low density

II–VI quantum-well structures containing a 2DEG of low density have been investigated by means of polarized photoluminescence, photoluminescence excitation and reflectivity in external magnetic fields up to 20 T. The spin splittings of the exciton X and the negatively charged exciton X ⁻ are measured as a function of the magnetic field strength. The behavior of the magnetic-field-induced polarization degree of the luminescence line related to X ⁻ demonstrates the formation process of negatively charged excitons from excitons and free carriers polarized by the external magnetic field. We have determined the binding energies of the trion formed either with the heavy-hole or the light-hole exciton. The optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) technique was applied for the first time to study the optical transition processes in a nanosecond timescale. The electron ODMR was observed with the detection on either the direct exciton or the negatively charged exciton X. Further evidence for the interaction of excitons with the electrons of the two-dimensional gas are demonstrated by a combined exciton-cyclotron resonance line observed in reflectivity and luminescence excitation, shake-up processes observed in photoluminescence, as well as inelastic and spin-dependent scattering processes.

Negatively charged excitons and the optical properties of modulation-doped quantum wells

Optical and magneto-optical properties are studied for II-VI semiconductor multiple quantum wells (MQWs) doped with donors in the barriers to give electron concentrations of 2 10¹⁰ to 6 10¹¹ cm^-2 in the well layers. Following on from the recent identification of negatively charged excitons X^- (two electrons bound to one hole) in CdTe/Cd_1-xZn_xTe MQWs, this paper presents more specifically the circular polarisation of the luminescence associated with X^- and with the normal exciton X (one electron and one hole) in this type of structure. Very similar magneto-optical properties are observed for modulation doped Zn_0.9Cd_0.1Se/ZnSe MQWs, and X^- is identified in these wells with a binding energy as large as 7 meV for the second electron at 50Å, well-width.     

Surface integral determination of built-in electric fields and analysis of exciton binding energies in nitride-based quantum dots

We present a simple analytical approach to calculate the built-in strain-induced and spontaneous piezoelectric fields in nitride-based quantum dots (QDs) and then apply the method to describe the variation of exciton, biexciton and charged exciton energy with dot size in GaN/AlN QDs. We first present the piezoelectric potential in terms of a surface integral over the QD surface, and confirm that, due to the strong built-in electric field, the electrons are localised near the QD top and the holes are localised in the wetting layer just below the dot. The strong localisation and smaller dielectric constant results in much larger Coulomb interactions in GaN/AlN QDs than in typical InAs/GaAs QDs, with the interaction between two electrons, J_ee, or two holes, J_hh, being about a factor of three larger. The electron–hole recombination energy is always blue shifted in the charged excitons, X⁻ and X⁺, and the biexciton, and the blue shift increases with increasing dot height. We conclude that spectroscopic studies of the excitonic complexes should provide a useful probe of the structural and piezoelectric properties of GaN-based QDs.     

Direct and spatially indirect excitons in GaAs/AlGaAs superlattices in strong magnetic fields

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.

Direct and spatially indirect excitons in GaAs/AlGaAs superlattices in strong magnetic fields

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. Fiz. Tverd. Tela (St. Petersburg) 40, 833–836 (May 1998)     

Stability of Charged Exciton States in Quantum Wires

We show that the order of energies of negative (X⁻) and positive (X⁺) trions in quantum wires is determined by the relative electron and hole lateral confinements. For equal electron and hole confinement, X⁺ has a larger binding energy, but a small imbalance towards a stronger hole localization changes the order of the X⁻ and X⁺ recombination lines in the photoluminescence spectrum.
