摘要: The temperature-dependent optical absorption and luminescence spectra of GaAs/AlGaAs InGaAs/InAlAs n-doped modulation-doped quantum wells is discussed with emphasis on the peak seen at edge these samples. A many-body calculation electron-hole correlation enhancement presented, which identifies this Mahan exciton-the result Coulomb interaction between photoexcited hole in valence band sea electrons conduction band. This accounts for strong dependence both temperature carrier concentration, good qualitative agreement experimental data previously published results. changes induced by carriers subband structure through self-consistent calculations are also analyzed, it concluded that symmetric structures, small achievable densities. >
