| Research Abstract |
this project aims to investigate the expansion mechanism of high-density electron-hole plasma generated in a semiconductor. We performed experiments on the plasma in Ge and GaAs. Fast diffusion of excitons accompanying with expanding plasma was observed in far-infrared magneto-aborption measurement. The dirift belocity decreases in magnetic fields and the expasion of the plasma is suppressed by magnetic fields. On the other hand, the ecperimental set-up of optically detected far-infrared cyclotron tesonance which has a possibility to observe the electron-hole plasma was newly developed and the resonance signal was observed in GaAs. We observed photoluminescence in 0.4-mm-thick Ge sample. Surface recombination deduces the density of free excitons. Further, far-infrred absorption of excitons is obserbed in this sample. The assignment is confirmed by the dependence on far-infrafed wavelength. The experimental results of far-infrared time-of flight absorption are interpreted time-of flight absorption are interpreted on the basis of the knowledge on the thin sample. The signal observed in far-infrared absorption is due to free exctions and the drift velocity decreases with increasing magnetic fields. In patricular, the velocity at zero magnetic field is 7 * 10^3 cm/s and the free excitons are emitted from the high density plasma or they follow fast diffusing plasma.
