摘要
We compare: the binding energies of the singlet ground states of negatively and positively charged excitons in a GaAs/Ga1-xAlxAs semiconductor quantum well. We found that the binding energies are very close, contrary to what happens in three-dimensional and two-dimensional semiconductors where the positively charged exciton is always more stable than the negatively charged exciton. This result is in agreement with recent experimental observations.
