摘要
We report on the binding energy and dephasing of localized biexciton states in narrow ZnSe multiple quantum wells. The measured binding-energy distribution of the localized biexcitons shows a width of 2.2 meV centered at 8.5 meV, and is fairly independent of the exciton localization energy. In four-wave mixing, the biexciton photon echo decays fast and nonexponentially. This behavior results from the inhomogeneous broadening of the biexciton binding energy, as we show by a comparison with an analytical model calculation. The fast decay is thus not related to a fast microscopic biexciton dephasing.
