Ac. Ferreira et al., SPECTROSCOPY STUDIES OF HIGHLY ACCEPTOR-DOPED GAAS ALGAAS QUANTUM-WELLS/, Superlattices and microstructures, 18(2), 1995, pp. 153-159
We present a theoretical and experimental study of optical properties
on highly acceptor doped QWs. Steady state photoluminescence (PL) and
PL excitation (PLE) results are compared with theoretical calculations
involving exchange and correlation effects for the electron-hole syst
em and their interaction with acceptor ions. We have studied the effec
ts of impurity doping at levels varying from 10(8) up to 10(13) cm(-2)
. Excitons can still be detected at high hole concentrations above the
degenerate limit. They survive due to the inefficiency of screening i
n the 2D system. (C) 1995 Academic Press Limited
