چکیده
We report a reflectance-based optically detected resonance ~ODR! study of neutral and negatively charged donors in GaAs/AlxGa12xAs quantum-well structures. The intensity of the e1h1(1s) excitonic reflectance feature was modulated by resonant absorption of a monochromatic far-infrared ~FIR! laser beam. An externally applied magnetic field was used to bring the internal transitions among various impurity states in resonance with the FIR photon energy. Predicted, but not previously reported, internal transitions of negatively charged donors were observed and were found to be in good agreement with theoretical calculations. This study establishes that the reflectance-based ODR technique is a sensitive tool for the investigation of donor states ~both neutral and negatively charged! in semiconductor quantum wells.

Negatively and positively charged excitons in GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs quantum wells.
We report the observation of the positively charged exciton and of the triplet state of the negatively charged exciton in modulation doped GaAs quantum wells. Applying a gate voltage at high magnetic fields we find that the photoluminescence line of the two-dimensional electron gas smoothly transforms into a negatively charged exciton and not into a neutral exciton. The Zeeman splitting of this...

Internal transitions of quasi-two-dimensional, negatively charged magnetoexcitons ( X-) and their evolution with excess electron density have been studied in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells. In the dilute electron limit, due to magnetic translational invariance, the optically detected resonance spectra are dominated by bound-to-continuum bands in contrast to the negatively charged donor system D-, wh...
