摘要: Abstract In optical emission from electrons confined in quantum wells, the component with polarization normal to planes was observed be unexpectedly strong. This suggests a breakdown of point group symmetry highest valence state beyond reduction cubic laminar symmetry. Effective mass theories that include excitonic interactions and conventional symmetry-breaking mechanisms do not account for this phenomenon.
