Abstract
Cooling of hot carriers in ternary quantum well (QW) systems has not yet been studied systematically so far as a function of the excitation density.1,2 However, a complete set of experimental data at different carrier densities is needed to understand the carrier–phonon coupling. We systematically studied the relaxation of hot carriers in an undoped Ga0.47in0.53As/Ai0.48In0.52As multiple quantum well (MQW). We find a strong retardation of the cooling when the density of hot carriers is increased from 1016 to 1018 cm−3.
