GaAs量子阱中电子在面内光激发下的自旋取向

Electron spin orientation under in-plane optical excitation in GaAs quantum wells

S. Pfalz, R. Winkler, N. Ubbelohde, D. Hägele, M. Oestreich

摘要:

我们研究了GaAs/AlGaAs量子阱中电子自旋在生长方向激发和面内激发时的光学取向。时间和偏振分辨的光致发光激发测量结果表明,共振激发的重空穴导带跃迁,一个可以忽略不计的程度的电子自旋极化面内激发和近100%的激发在生长方向。对于光-空穴导带跃迁的共振激发,激发的电子自旋极化对于面内激发(在生长方向上)具有与激发到连续体中相同(相反)的方向。利用精确的多带激子吸收理论,充分考虑了电子-空穴库仑关联和重空穴-光空穴耦合,很好地解释了实验结果。

英文摘要:

We study the optical orientation of electron spins in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells for excitation in the growth direction and for in-plane excitation. Time- and polarization-resolved photoluminescence excitation measurements show, for resonant excitation of the heavy-hole conduction band transition, a negligible degree of electron spin polarization for in-plane excitation and nearly 100% for excitation in the growth direction. For resonant excitation of the light-hole conduction band transition, the excited electron spin polarization has the same (opposite) direction for in-plane excitation (in the growth direction) as for excitation into the continuum. The experimental results are well explained by an accurate multiband theory of excitonic absorption taking fully into account electron-hole Coulomb correlations and heavy-hole light-hole coupling.
