Abstract
Recently observed luminescence spectra in the alloy semiconductor quantum-well system InGaAs/InP show an enhancement of the electron-hole (e-h) recombination oscillator strength at the electron Fermi energy (EFe). This enhancement is explained, using a generalized e-h pair propagator and static screening, as due to multiple e-h scattering and recombination of the electrons at EFe with the small number of optically excited holes which have wave-vector components of the order of kFe (the electron Fermi wave-vector) due to localisation effects. The localisation is taken to rise from alloy disorder.Keywords
