Abstract

We have used Optically Detected Resonance (ODR) spectroscopy to probe the electronic properties of undoped and barrier-doped GaAs/Al0.3Ga0.7As multiple-quantum-well (MQW) samples with well widths between 12.5 and 20 nm in magnetic fields up to 15 T at low temperatures. The simultaneous observation of electron and hole CR along with several internal transitions of neutral excitons (IETs) verifies the symmetry-related energy differences of the internal transitions to differences between electron and hole CR. The observed degeneracy of the 1s → 2p+ IET from the two radiative magneto-excitons is due to the very small electron g-factor. ODR measurements on 20 nm wide MQWs (not-intentionally- and barrier-doped) exhibit transitions of the negatively charged excitonic complex.
