Abstract

A study is reported of the low temperature (T<30K) photoluminescence from space-indirect excitons (IX) in GaAs/AlxGa1xAs double quantum wells at pumping density P and external electric field Vdc. At certain values of the external parameters (P,T, and Vdc) a part of the spectral profile of the IX line shows an enormous increase (shot) in photoluminescence intensity (three times), fluctuating with time on a characteristic scale of tens of seconds. This anomalous behavior is explained in terms of the theoretical model of the Bose-Einstein condensation occurring in a system of two-dimensional bosons that has, in addition to the extended (free) states, some discrete energy spectrum below the bottom of the free zone.
