Abstract:We investigate the distribution of oscillator strengths for the recombination of excitons in a two dimensional sample, trapped in local minima of the confinement potential: the results are derived from a statistical topographic model of the potential. The predicted distribution of oscillator strengths is very different from the Porter-Thomas distribution which usually characterises disordered systems, and is notable for the fact that small oscillator strengths are extremely rare.
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.
