Determination of homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadening in semiconductor nanostructures by two-dimensional Fourier-transform optical spectroscopy

Abstract: The imaginary part of two-dimensional Fourier-transform spectra in the rephasing and nonrephasing modes is used to analyze the homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadening of excitonic resonances in semiconductor nanostructures. Microscopic calculations that include heavy-and light-hole excitons as well as coherent biexcitonic many-body correlations reveal distinct differences between the rephasing and nonrephasing spectra. A procedure is proposed that allows separation of disorder-induced broadening in complex sy… Show more

“…FTOPT spectra of MBIs among excitons in semiconductor quantum wells have been simulated using phenomenological [11,17] and microscopic first-principles [12,28,29] calculations. The former treat the quantum well as a simple few-level system (meaning that it begins with the same isolated states used in the sum-over-states approach) and then includes phenomenological terms to represent the MBIs, including any required binding energies, while the latter considers only the band structure of the semiconductor quantum well and the Coulomb coupling to generate the excitons, the multiexcitons, and the MBIs.…”

“…However, echo peak is not well defined due to the interplay between disorder and many-body interactions when disorder-induced broadening is small. In addition, the echo peak can be distorted by beating when more than one resonance is excited [119]. The retrieval of homogeneous width from TI FWM signal with beating requires careful fits to a sophisticated model in general.…”

“…In microscopic calculations of 2D spectra with the inclusion of many-body interactions of HH and LH excitons as well as biexcitons [119], inhomogeneous broadening demonstrates different behaviors in non-rephasing and rephasing pathways, making it possible to separate disorder-induced broadening. Experimental studies towards this goal are still on the way.…”

“…It has been concluded [1] that large-sized structure imperfections have an effect on the properties of high-resistant materials, but in low-resistant materials inhomogeneities on the distribution of impurities have a principal influence. Though such crystals are considered as unsuitable material for production of many electronic devices, in some extent these disordered materials are used in special solid-state devices of microelectronics [2][3][4].…”
