Abstract
The role of the Coulomb interaction in trapping of electrons in a deep quantum well is investigated. By an example of a three-level quantum well, the fundamental mechanisms of trapping of electrons are considered: upon interaction with optical phonons and Coulomb interaction of electrons with one another. The corresponding trapping probabilities and lifetimes of electrons are calculated. With regard to the effect of Auger recombination on the charge-carrier distribution in a quantum well, the system of rate equations for the nonstationary regime is solved and the time dependences of electron concentrations at the ground energy level in the quantum well are determined. The contribution of each recombination process is shown.
