Coherent coupling between exciton resonances governed by the disorder potential

Abstract: Monolayer fluctuations in the thickness of a semiconductor quantum well (QW) lead to the formation of spectrally resolved excitons located in the narrower, average, and thicker regions of the QW. Whether or not these excitons are coherently coupled via Coulomb interaction is a long-standing debate. We demonstrate that different types of disorder potential govern coherent coupling among excitons, and the coupling strength can be quantitatively measured using optical two-dimensional Fourier transform spectroscop… Show more

“…4a), we associate this behavior with a partial removal of the inhomogeneous broadening when electron population over the subband is still not high enough. The inhomogeneous broadening is believed to arise from the structural fluctuations at the interfaces 2,47 appearing through the internal ("built-in") electric field (E b-in ) with a standard deviation of the Gaussian distribution, rather than from the quantum confinement induced variations 48 remaining ineffective since the size of NCs significantly exceeds the exciton Bohr radius (a few nm) 47 . Consequently, the homogeneously broadened features can be recognized ( Fig.…”

“…2DFTS may be exploited to gain further insight into the influence of strain on the coherent optical response of semiconductors. For instance, the ability to independently measure the levels of homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadening [16][17][18][19][20][21] may yield insight into varying local electronic environments tied to partial strain relaxation in thin film systems. 2DFTS has also provided a wealth of information about many-body interactions (MBI) in quantum well systems through the ability to isolate a range of quantum pathways from the excitons, their coupling to one another, and biexcitons.…”

“…Process of working electrodes of dye senitised solar cell and its charge transfer were shown in Fig 3(a-c). However, spectral features may exhibit inhomogeneous broadening as a result of electronic confinement and can even yield information about a strain, as observed in bulk gallium arsenide (GaAs) [28]. Moreover, as a multi-pulse coherent-control scheme, 2DCS can also be used to examine non-radiative contributions (e.g., Raman or two-quantum coherence) by projecting these signals onto the emitted radiation.…”
