Abstract:
We report the inclusion of temperature effects on the Mahan-Nozières-De Dominicis framework to study both many-body and temperature
effects in photoluminescence spectra of doped semiconductors. The electronic part of the correlation function characterizes
the photoluminescence spectra. We have treated the optical valence hole as a localized scattering potential center and studied
effects of the electron-hole interaction enhancement on the photoluminescence spectra leading to the appearance of shake-up
structures. We also have identified a term in the correlation function which represents the finite-temperature contribution
to the intensities of the shake-up structures. The method is used to study the magnetophotoluminescence of modulation-doped
quantum wells with a weak periodic lateral potential.
