摘要: Radiative properties of free excitons in GaAs quantum wells are studied under resonant excitation. We first show that we do observe by their Lorentzian lineshape and mobility the plane well. Enhanced radiative recombination excitons, a consequence breakdown translational symmetry induced well potential, is evidenced very short lifetime as strong intensity luminescence signal. Dephasing mechanisms, transferring into non-radiative states, increase observed lifetime. In same way, sample temperature, or exciton temperature non-resonant excitation, increases decay time reducing population close to k = 0. From our experiments, deduce 10 ± 4 ps absence dephasing mechanisms.
