摘要：

We present nanosecond time-resolved measurements of the low-temperature photoluminescence in coupled GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs quantum wells. Working with 10.0-nm and 15.0-nm GaAs quantum wells coupled through a 3.0-nm Al0.3Ga0.7As barrier layer, we observe spatially indirect excitons with lifetimes in excess of 200 nsecan enhancement of more than 2 orders of magnitude over the lifetime of the spatially direct exciton. As a result, extremely cold GaAs exciton gases become possible, a prerequisite for testing recent predictions of quantum-statistical behavior in this system. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
