Abstract

The thermalization dynamics of hot free excitons in ZnSe quantum wells is studied by photoluminescence excitation (PLE), steady-state (cw-PL) and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL). Formation of excitons by emission of LO phonons is very efficient and leads to the generation of narrow hot-exciton distributions. The LO phonon-assisted recombination of the excitons is a direct monitor of the hot-exciton dynamics. A thermalized exciton distribution is reached only after some 100 ps due to the slow exciton relaxation assisted by acoustic phonons. The hot-exciton features in PLE, cw-PL and TRPL are consistently reproduced by explicitly calculating the relevant scattering processes.
