Carrier dynamics between delocalized and localized states in type-II GaAsSb/GaAs quantum wells

摘要

The carrier dynamics in type-II GaAsSb/GaAs quantum well (QW) is investigated by time-resolved photoluminescence at low temperature. A detailed analysis of the experimental data reveal a complex carrier relaxation scenario involving both delocalized and localized states. We show that the QW emission is controlled by the dynamics of the band bending effect, related to temporal changes in the spatial charge separation near the GaAsSb/GaAs heterointerface, whereas localized states play a significant role in the carrier relaxation/redistribution between QW states.
