Bound exciton and free exciton states in GaSe thin slab
نویسندگان
چکیده
The photoluminescence (PL) and absorption experiments have been performed in GaSe slab with incident light polarized perpendicular to c-axis of sample at 10 K. An obvious energy difference of about 34 meV between exciton absorption peak and PL peak (the highest energy peak) is observed. By studying the temperature dependence of PL and absorption spectra, we attribute it to energy difference between free exciton and bound exciton states, where main exciton absorption peak comes from free exciton absorption, and PL peak is attributed to recombination of bound exciton at 10 K. This strong bound exciton effect is stable up to 50 K. Moreover, the temperature dependence of integrated PL intensity and PL lifetime reveals that a non-radiative process, with activation energy extracted as 0.5 meV, dominates PL emission.

Decay rate and renormalized frequency shift of a quantum wire Wannier exciton in a planar microcavity
The superradiant decay rate and frequency shift of a Wannier exciton in a one-dimensional quantum wire are studied. It is shown that the dark mode exciton can be examined experimentally when the quantum wire is embedded in a planar microcavity. It is also found that the decay rate is greatly enhanced as the cavity length Lc is equal to the multiple wavelength of the emitted photon. Similar to i...

The superradiant decay rate of Wannier exciton in one dimensional system is studied. The crossover behavior from 1D chain to 2D film is also examined. It is found that the decay rate shows oscillatory dependence on channel width L. When the quasi 1-D channel is embeded with planar microcavities, it is shown that the dark mode exciton can be examined experimentally. PACS numbers: 71.35.-y, 71.45...
متن کاملTemperature-Dependent Photoluminescence Emission from Unstrained and Strained GaSe Nanosheets
Two-dimensional AIIIBVI layered semiconductors have recently attracted great attention due to their potential applications in piezo-phototronics and optoelectronics. Here, we report the temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) of strained and unstrained GaSe flakes. It is found that, as the temperature increases, the PL from both the strained (wrinkled) and unstrained (flat) positions show ...
متن کاملDynamics of exciton transfer between the bound and the continuum states in GaAs-AlxGa1-xAs multiple quantum wells.
Experimentally observed two-exponential decay of excitonic transitions in GaAs-Al Gal — As multiple quantum wells has been successfully interpreted in terms of the exciton transfer between the continuum (free carriers) and the bound states. The calculation results obtained from this exciton-transfer model are in excellent agreement with experimental observations. The rates of the exciton transf...
