K. Hieke et W. Heimbrodt, MAGNETIC-FIELD DEPENDENT EXCITON TRANSFER TIMES IN SEMIMAGNETIC DOUBLE-QUANTUM-WELL STRUCTURES, Solid state communications, 93(4), 1995, pp. 257-260
Tunnelling times are determined for the exciton transfer from the narr
ow to the wide well of CdTe/(Cd,Mn)Te asymmetric double quantum well s
tructures with semimagnetic barrier and nonmagnetic wells by means of
time resolved photoluminescence. A strong dependence of the tunnelling
time on an external magnetic field up to 10 Tesla is found, which is
attributed to the decrease of the barrier height. The tunnelling times
vary between 900 ps and 35 ps. The important role of the excitonic in
teraction is pointed out.
