We report the study of optical dephazing Wannier-Stark ladder excitations in a semiconductor superlattice by means transient degenerate four-wave mixing. observe pronounced modulations signal with time period varying linearly electric field. The is found to equal temporal periodicity Bloch oscillations, agreement theory. In addition, we find that decreases increasing localization states, which attributed carrier escape out lowest miniband.
Optical spectra in quantum wells are many cases strongly influenced by disorder. In particular, energy relaxation of correlated electron-hole pairs through disorder-induced localized states determines the position and shape photoluminescence lines. By a Monte Carlo simulation approach is studied temperature dependence spectral peak linewidth determined for variety model systems steady-state situation.
We present a Monte Carlo study of the relaxation and dissociation dynamics optical excitations in poly(p-phenylenevinylene). The quantitative comparison with experimental data gives complete picture excitation dynamics, relevant parameters spectral relaxation, trapping processes involved. Our simulations are extended to include primary step neutral photoexcitation an electric field. results field-induced photoluminescence quenching experiments enables us understand determine exciton binding...
We report on the coherent dynamics of excitonic wave packets observed in transient four-wave mixing experiments strained InGaAs/GaAs quantum-well structures. The noneigenstates are created by using laser pulses shorter than electron round trip time within exciton orbital. A characteristic temporal modulation diffracted signal is observed, which resembles an packet a hydrogen atom expected for case simultaneous excitation all bound and lowest continuum states.
Photoluminescence in (GaIn)(NAs) quantum wells designed for laser emission was studied experimentally and theoretically. The observed temperature dependences of the luminescence Stokes shift spectral linewidth evidence essential role disorder dynamics recombining excitations. spatial energy disorders can cause a localization photocreated excitations supposedly form excitons. Theoretical study exciton is performed via kinetic Monte Carlo simulations hopping recombination manifold localized...
Abstract The non‐direct transition model for calculation of amorphous ϵ 2 ‐spectra is considered with respect to energy dependent matrix elements. It shown how these elements may be obtained from the crystalline discussed Selenium, Germanium, and Silicon.
Analytic calculations are carried out for temperature and field dependences of the hopping drift mobility charge carriers in strongly anisotropic disordered solids where transport can be treated as one dimensional. The solutions obtained exact processes with noninteracting carrier transitions to nearest sites a one-dimensional chain. Only such essential systems correlated space-energy distributions localized states [see K. Kohary et al., following paper, Phys. Rev. B 63, 094202 (2001)]....
Percolation approach is used to study the dc hopping conductivity and thermopower in systems with a Gaussian density of localized states typical for disordered organic materials. It shown that theoretical methods developed earlier description transport inorganic solids, such as amorphous semiconductors, can also be successfully applied conjugated or molecularly doped polymers. Calculations within percolation give results excellent agreement those obtained by using more transparent, though...
Interplay between temperature T and high electric field F concerning their influence on the hopping transport in disordered semiconductors is studied theoretically. A series of computer simulations transient steady-state conduction carried out with emphasis verification concept so-called effective temperature. According to this heuristic can be parametrized by a single quantity ${\mathit{T}}_{\mathrm{eff}}$(T,F). We show that such functions ${\mathit{T}}_{\mathrm{eff}}$(T,F) do exist for...
Interaction with both acoustical as well optical phonons contributes to the relaxation of excitons in tail states coherently strained CdTe/ZnTe quantum wells. The contribution is most important thinnest 1.8 monolayers. Hopping down, which involves emission acoustic phonons, leads a redshift luminescence band about 10 meV within first 200 ps after excitation. A comparison experimental data results quantitative theory allows us evaluate concentration localized involved process.
We have performed temperature-dependent studies of the photoluminescence properties a range $\mathrm{In}\mathrm{As}∕\mathrm{Ga}\mathrm{As}$ quantum dot structures. Changes in temperature dependence peak energy and spectral width are governed by thermally stimulated transfer processes hence depend on depth confining potentials. compared our experimental results with detailed calculations based upon correlated electron-hole (exciton) or independent relaxation. conclude that at elevated...
