Abstract
A review is given on studies of exciton–phonon interaction in single quantum wells by means of a nonequilibrium phonon technique. It is shown that in the presence of nonequilibrium phonons the exciton energy distribution is non-Boltzmann. It is sensitive to the phonon energy and momentum distribution and also depends on the quantum well width. The results clearly show the role of 2D exciton confinement in the exciton–phonon interaction. In slightly asymmetric double quantum wells a rapid phonon-assisted relaxation of coupled excitons is observed.
