Temperature and carrier-density dependent excitonic absorption spectra of semiconductor quantum wires

摘要: In this paper, we present a theoretical study on excitonic absorption spectra of one-dimensional semiconductor quantum wires. The carrier-carrier scattering is treated by the second Born approximation in the Markovian limit. The absorption spectra of different carrier densities and temperatures are discussed. The excitonic absorption peak position and width show complicated dependence on carrier density and temperature, indicating the importance of carrier-carrier scattering. The behavior can be understood by the cooperative effects of exchange self-energy and Coulomb correlation due to carrier-carrier scattering.
