The subband dependent band gap renormalization of photoexcited quantum-well
wires was studied within the leading-order dynamical screening approximati
on. Our numerical results for GaAs quantum-well wires showed a rather large
difference between the subband renormalization in the dynamical screening
approximation and in the Hartree-Fock approximation. (C) 1999 Elsevier Scie
