摘要: We present a systematic study of the cooling hot carriers in undoped, n-type doped, and p-type doped GaAs/${\mathrm{Al}}_{\mathrm{x}}$${\mathrm{Ga}}_{1\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{x}}$As quantum wells different well widths by time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy. The energy loss due to interaction with optical phonons is independent dimensionality width. electrons highly reduced at all excitation densities compared simple theory interactions; for holes, comes close low density. reduction energy-loss rate optical-phonon scattering cannot be explained screening or degeneracy but rather consistent hot-phonon effect. deformation-potential acoustical increases decreasing
