Ultrafast Phase Relaxation of Excitons via Exciton-Exciton and Exciton-Electron Collisions

Schultheis, L., Kuhl, J., Honold, A., Tu, C. W.·1986·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

The ultrafast relaxation of excitons in GaAs, coherently excited by a short optical pulse and subjected to collisions with free carriers and noncoherent excitons which are independently created by a second synchronized light pulse, is studied directly in the time domain by a probing of the excitonic phase coherence. The relaxation rates reveal strong exciton-exciton scattering with a collision efficiency of 1.6 \ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{} ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}4}$ ${\mathrm{cm}}^{3}$ ${\mathrm{s}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ and even 10 times more efficient exciton-free-carrier scattering.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
