Abstract

Biexcitons localized in ultrathin CdS/ZnS single quantum wells with fluctuating well thicknesses are investigated by two-photon absorption and single-exciton spectroscopy. For the binding energy of the confined biexciton, a value of ΔEB=38 meV is determined. Comparing ΔEB with the CdS bulk exciton binding energy ERyd=28 meV, the largest known ratio ΔEB/ERyd=1.4 is found. Additionally, a strong enhancement of exchange splitting effects is observed resulting in a linearly polarized exciton doublet and a single, linearly polarized biexciton line.
