摘要
The ground-state energy of the negatively charged exciton in a semiconductor quantum well is calculated assuming finite band offsets in a two-band model within the envelope-function approximation with isotropic electron and hole masses. A variational 66-term Hylleraas-type wave function has been used. The stability against dissociation into an exciton and a free electron is investigated in the cases of GaAs/Ga1-xAlxAs and CdTe/Cd1-xZnxTe quantum wells with several compositions and different values of the well width. A stable binding is obtained in all cases. The calculated transition energies are in reasonable agreement with the available experimental values. A particular experiment is proposed in order to identify charged excitons and to distinguish them from neutral donor bound excitons.
