Abstract

The dynamics of excitons and trions in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures with shallow quantum wells is studied in time-resolved photoluminescence experiments carried out with different repetition rates of picosecond pump pulses for the cases of intrawell, above-barrier, and“two-color” excitation. It is established that excess charge carriers of one type accumulated in the quantum wells under above-barrier excitation play a key role in the formation and dynamics of the exciton-trion system and determine its composition and kinetic properties. The lifetime of excess charge carriers in the quantum wells, estimated from the experimental data, exceeds 10 μs.
