Abstract

A system composed of two heavy holes located in a two-dimensional (2D) quantum well (QW) and bound via mediation of an electron in a neighboring 2D QW is considered. Using a simple qualitative trial wave function, the ground-state energy of this kind of X+ trion is determined in the infinite-hole-mass approximation as a function of the QW spacing. Coordinate dependence of the effective potential binding the holes to each other is calculated for different values of QW spacing. In the adiabatic approximation, a set of dependences describing the X+ trion binding energy as a function of the electron mass to the hole mass ratio is obtained. Several estimates for the trion binding energy in GaAs-and ZnSe-based double-QW heterostructures are given.
