摘要
Exciton photoluminescence (PL) in a GaInNAs/GaNAs quantum well was measured in the temperature range from 15 K to 300 K. Two striking features of the PL were observed: the nonmonotoneous temperature dependence of the Stokes shift and the abrupt increase of the PL linewidth in a rather narrow temperature range. These features are known to be strong indications of the hopping relaxation of excitons via localized states distributed in space and energy. Computer simulations of the hopping relaxation of excitons were carried out. Comparison between the simulation results and the experimental data provides an important and reliable information on the energy shape of the density of states and also on the energy range, in which localized states for excitons are distributed.
