摘要
We report the results of a systematic photoluminescence and reflectance study of negatively charged excitons (X-) in several GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs quantum well structures. Samples are either doped n-type in the wells or not intentionally doped, and thus the appearance of X- (present in modulation doped samples) is not expected. The combination of the two spectroscopies allowed us to explore the possible mechanisms responsible for the formation of the X- complex, in all cases the X- signature is related to excess electrons in the wells. These results provide positive evidence that the original identification of the X- photoluminescence feature is correct.
