摘要
High-resolution magnetophotoluminescence measurements are reported on a GaAs-AlxGa1-xAs heterojunction that has two occupied subbands at zero magnetic field. A very efficient, extremely narrow-band luminescence involving the two-dimensional electron gas is observed above a certain critical field strength in spite of the large built-in electric field acting on the photoexcited holes. The photoluminescence peak shows pronounced magneto-oscillations in peak energy, as well as in luminescence intensity and peak width. The luminescence is attributed to the exciton of the second subband, which hybridizes with the Landau level of the first subband in which the Fermi level resides. This many-body interaction is most efficient at odd filling factors, i.e., if the Fermi level lies in the extended states. The oscillations in photon energy and full width at half maximum originate from n(c) = 1 Landau-level crossings with the lowest n(c) = 2 Landau level. The optical data show that the exciton of the second subband is consecutively populated and depopulated. Tilted-field measurements enable the determination of the intrasubband diamagnetic shift in a parallel field delta-E12/delta-B.
