Magnetoresistance in Coupled Quantum Wells
The in-plane magnetic field suppresses the quantum coupling between electrons in a double quantum well structure. The microscopical theory of this effect is developed and confirmed experimentally. We have shown that the decrease of the " resistance resonance " peak is sensitive to the mutual orientation of the current and the in-plane magnetic field. The characteristic field required for the su...
متن کاملExcitonic binding in coupled quantum wells
We study excitonic states in the presence of applied electric field in 8-nm GaAs coupled quantum wells ~QW’s! separated by a 4-nm Al0.33Ga0.67As barrier and in 6-nm In0.1Ga0.9As coupled QW’s separated by a 4-nm GaAs barrier in which effects attributed to macroscopically ordered excitonic states have been recently reported. We discuss the differences in the nature of the states and in the origin...
متن کاملOptical refrigeration with coupled quantum wells.
Refrigeration of a solid-state system with light has potential applications for cooling small-scale electronics and photonics. We show theoretically that two coupled semiconductor quantum wells are efficient cooling media for optical refrigeration because they support long-lived indirect electron-hole pairs. Thermal excitation of these pairs to distinct higher-energy states with faster radiativ...
متن کاملExciton condensation in coupled quantum wells
Bound electron–hole pairs—excitons—are Bose particles with small mass. Exciton Bose–Einstein condensation is expected to occur at a few degrees Kelvin—a temperature many orders of magnitude higher than for atoms. Experimentally, an exciton temperature well below 1 K is achieved in coupled quantum well (CQW) semiconductor nanostructures. In this contribution, we review briefly experiments that s...
متن کاملCoherence length of cold exciton gases in coupled quantum wells.
A Mach-Zehnder interferometer with spatial and spectral resolution was used to probe spontaneous coherence in cold exciton gases, which are implemented experimentally in the ring of indirect excitons in coupled quantum wells. A strong enhancement of the exciton coherence length is observed at temperatures below a few Kelvin. The increase of the coherence length is correlated with the macroscopi...
