Abstract
The dynamics of hot carrier relaxation and carrier recombination in the ternary semiconductor AlxGa1−xAs are investigated by time-resolved measurements of the photoluminescence and transmission following intense picosecond excitation. We also examine the modifications of the band structure introduced by high carrier densities, i.e., band gap renormalization due to exchange and correlation effects in the interacting carrier system. Experimental parameters are the alloy composition, the lattice temperature, and the initial density and excess energy of the excited carriers.
