Abstract | The nature of sharp emission lines which are present in macro-luminescence experiments on a type-II GaAs/AlAs double quantum well structure is discussed. The experiments, which also include micro-lumines- cence measurements, allowed us to conclude that the sharp emission lines observed originate from lateral GaAlAs islands of a fewmum in diameter. They serve as efficient type-I recombination centers for indirect excitons and/or carriers which diffuse in the GaAs/AlAs QW structure and strongly affect the emission processes observed in macro-luminescence experiments. These traps can easily be filled with electron--hole pairs, giving rise to the formation of neutral excitons as well as more complex excitonic molecules. Magneto-luminescence spectra from single islands resemble those observed for natural quantum dots formed in narrow GaAs quantum wells. |
