Photoluminescence spectra from 6-doped n-type A1~Ga&~As/In&Ga"As/GaAs quantum wells have been investigated in magnetic fields H(14 T and T=1.8-18 K. The Fermi level of the quasitwo-dimensional electron gas EF was slightly below the second subband. Interband Landau-level (LL) transitions between the j, th electron LL (j, =1,2) and the first hole LL, j, -l j"were analyzed. Their intensity was found to increase anomalously when the transition energy intersected that of the magnetoexciton state involving the electron from the second subband, 0,-0q. The intensity of the 0,-0& line oscillated with magnetic field and its maxima coincided with the intersection between the 0,-0j, energy and either the j, -0& or j, -1h transitions or both of them, depending on the energy separation between EI; and the second subband. Taking into account that the j, -1& and O, -OI, transitions involve no common particle, the anomalous behavior is explained by the interaction between two magnetoexciton states, 0,-0& and j, -l j, .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
