项目摘要

High-density-excitation effects on photoluminescence (PL) properties in GaAs/AlAs type-II superlattices (SLs) have been investigated from the aspects of biexcitons and electron-hole droplets. The structures of (GaAs)_m/(AlAs)_n SL samples are as follows : (m, n)=(10, 10), (12, 12), (13, 13), (10, 14), and (10, 20), where m and n indicate the thickness of the GaAs and AlAs layers in monolayer (ML) units (1 ML=0.283 nm), respectively. In the SLs, the lowest-energy exciton consists of the X electron and F heavy hole which are confined in the AlAs and the GaAs layers, respectively : so-called the type-II exciton. The lifetime of the type-Il exciton is of the order of *is : This leads to the advantage for the formation of the high-density-excitation state. Following results have been obtained.1. The biexciton formation is observed under the very low excitation-power condition around 10 mW/cm^2. From the line-shape analysis of the PL bands, the biexciton binding energies are estimated to be 2.5-3.5 mV.The layer-thickness dependence of the biexciton binding energy reveals the following facts : The quantum confinement of the electron and hole increases the binding energy, while the spatial separation decreases it. From time-resolved PL spectra, the transient processes of the formation and decay of the type-II biexciton are clearly detected.2. Under the excitation-power condition three-orders higher than that for the biexciton formation, a novel PL band with a threshold nature in the excitation is observed on the low-energy side of the biexciton band. The shape of the PL band dose not change with the excitation power, and its lifetime is much faster than that of the biexciton PL.These results suggest that the PL band results from the formation of electron-hole droplets. The PL-band shape is explained by a conventional model for electron-hole droplets used in indirect-transition-type semiconductors.

从双激子和电子空穴液滴两个方面研究了高密度激发对GaAs/AlAs Ⅱ型超晶格光致发光特性的影响。（GaAs）_m/（AlAs）_nSL样品的结构如下：（m，n）=（10，10），（12，12），（13，13），（10，14），（10，20），其中m和n分别表示GaAs和AlAs层的单层厚度（1 ML= 0.283nm）。在超晶格中，最低能量的激子由X电子和F重空穴组成，它们分别被限制在AlAs和GaAs层中：所谓的II型激子。II型激子的寿命是 * 的数量级：这导致形成高密度激发态的优势。取得了如下研究成果：1.在10 mW/cm ^2左右的极低激发功率条件下观察到双激子的形成。从PL带的线形分析，双激子结合能估计为2.5-3.5 mV。双激子结合能的层厚度依赖性揭示了以下事实：电子和空穴的量子限制增加了结合能，而空间分离降低了结合能。清晰地探测到了II型双激子的形成和衰减的瞬态过程.在激发功率比双激子形成高三个数量级的条件下，在双激子带的低能侧观察到一个具有激发阈值性质的新型PL带。光致发光带的形状不随激发功率的变化而变化，其寿命比双激子光致发光的寿命长得多，说明光致发光带是由电子空穴液滴的形成引起的。PL带的形状是由用于间接过渡型半导体的电子空穴液滴的传统模型来解释。
