The behavior of excitons in heterostructures with indirect-gap GaAs/AlAs quantum wells and (In, Al)As/AlAs quantum dots is discussed. The possibilities of controlled change of the exciton radiative recombination time in the range from dozens of nanoseconds to dozens of microseconds, experimental study of the spin dynamics of long-lived localized excitons, and use of the optical resonant methods for exciting the indirect-band exciton states are demonstrated.
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.
