摘要
We report a time-resolved photoluminescence study of neutral (X) and negatively charged (X-) excitons in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells under resonant excitation conditions. For X the temporal evolution of luminescence is dominated by three decays attributed to resonant Rayleigh scattering, resonantly created cold excitons, and an exciton population thermalized to the lattice temperature. By contrast, for X- we find only one temperature-dependent decay. We discuss these results in terms of the polariton description of radiative recombination.
