Abstract
Photoluminescence (PL) and reflectivity spectra from modulation-doped quantum well structures containing a two-dimensional electron gas have been studied in magnetic fields up to . In high fields, the recombination from the dark triplet trion state was found to be one of the most intense PL lines. A “bright” triplet line is revealed in both reflectivity and PL in magnetic fields above . PL spectra were calculated as a function of magnetic field, taking into account exciton, singlet, and triplet trion states. We show that the intense PL from the dark triplet trion is due to the field-induced suppression of singlet trion formation, and a corresponding enhancement of dark trion formation.
