摘要：

An investigation of the hot-carrier relaxation in GaAs/(Al,Ga)As quantum wells and bulk GaAs in the high-carrier-density limit is presented. Using a time-resolved luminescence up-conversion technique with less-than-or-equal-to 80-fs temporal resolution, carrier temperatures are measured in the 100-fs-to-2-ns range. Our results show that the hot-carrier cooling rates in the quantum wells are significantly slower than in the bulk for carrier densities greater than 2 x 10(18) cm-3. A comparison is made with previous publications to resolve the confusion concerning the difference in cooling rates in quasi-two- and three-dimensional systems.
