The purpose of my thesis is to provide a theoretical analysis of the dynamics of optically excited carriers in semiconductor confined systems. In particular, I will focus the investigations on the effects due to the presence of a strong electron-hole Coulo ...
We report the optical properties of high quality V-groove GaAs/Al0.3Ga0.7.As quantum wires (QWRs) with different thicknesses of the GaAs layer. The systematic investigation of photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra as a funct ...
We use a rate equation model in order to reproduce the dynamics of two-dimensional excitons and free carriers in a time resolved photoluminescence experiment. We investigate the dynamics of the exciton formation from free electron-hole pairs, and the evolu ...
We report on luminescence, transmission and luminescence excitation measurements on indirect-gap AlxGa1-xAs in the composition range 0.42 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.86. The phonon coupling strength in transitions of bound excitons is i ...
We have studied systems of asymmetric coupled GaAs V-groove quantum wires p-i-n diodes, in which the electrons and holes are injected into different wires. Despite the use of a 7 nm thick AlGaAs tunnel barrier, and although we demonstrate that holes tunnel ...
A set of parameters for the temperature dependence of the direct band gap of InP has been determined by fitting the excitonic recombination energy in the photoluminescence (PL) spectra between 2 and 250 K. We have used high-quality InP samples grown by che ...
