Magneto-optics of the spatially separated electron and hole layers in GaAs/AlxGa12xAs coupled quantum wells

چکیده
We report on the magneto-optical study of the spatially separated electron and hole layers in GaAs/AlxGa12xAs coupled quantum wells at low temperatures T>50 mK and high magnetic fields B <16 T. At high magnetic fields cusps are observed in the energy and intensity of the indirect ~interwell! exciton photoluminescence. We tentatively attribute these to the commensurability effects of the magnetoexciton with island structures in the sample. The indirect exciton lifetime is found to increase with magnetic field. The increase is attributed to the reduction of indirect exciton localization area caused by the increase of the magnetoexciton mass. The indirect exciton photoluminescence energy is found to enhance with density, which reflects the net repulsive interaction between indirect excitons. @S0163-1829~99!06635-7#

The Effect of Exchange-Correlation Holes on the Temperature Dependent Dynamic Dielectric Function of Single-Layer Quantum Wells and Coupled Nanolayers
In this paper, for the first time we have studied theoretically the effect of exchange-correlation holes around electrons in GaAlAs/GaAs/GaAlAs nanostructure on the temperature-dependent dynamic dielectric function of two-dimensional electron gas by employing random phase, STLS and Hubbard approximations. Also, we have investigated another interesting system which is coupled quantum wells struc...

The second-order nonlinear optical susceptibility x (2) for second-harmonic generation is calculated for the 11H transition of a graded double quantum well ~DQW! structure of undoped GaAs/AlxGa12xAs. These results are compared with the single quantum well ~QW!. Our results show that the values of x (2) have optimal magnitudes dependent on the width, depth and separation between the QWs in a DQW...
متن کاملMidbandgap electro-optic detection of Bloch oscillations
Bloch oscillations excited in a biased GaAs/AlxGa12xAs superlattice are investigated in a time-resolved two-color electro-optic detection scheme. The detection of resonantly excited Bloch oscillations is based on the Pockels effect probed at a wavelength in the center of the band gap. The observed birefringence is induced by the macroscopic polarization of the electronic wave packets relative t...
متن کاملTerahertz Emission From Magneto-plasma Oscillations in Semiconductors
Ultrafast terahertz spectroscopy can be used to probe charge and spin dynamics in semiconductors. We have studied THz emission from bulk InAs and GaAs and from GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells as a function of magnetic field. Ultrashort pulses of THz radiation were produced at semiconductor surfaces by photoexcitation with a femtosecond TiSapphire laser, and we recorded the THz emission spectrum and t...
