Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate an intrinsic statistical effect of the phenom enon of spontaneous ordering in semiconductor alloys: the reduction of allo y fluctuations as a function of the order parameter, as reflected in the ex citon linewidth. A theoretical model is presented to qualitatively describe the dependence of the exciton linewidth on the order parameter.
