Abstract

We report on a detailed study of the photoluminescence (PL) in high quality GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells containing a two-dimensional electron gas. The 2DEG density was varied by optical depletion (with He-Ne laser illumination) in the range of n_2D = (7-3) × 10¹⁰ cm^-2. The n_2D-dependent PL spectra were studied under a perpendicularly applied magnetic field B < 12 T at T_L = 0.3 and 1.5 K. The evolution from free hole-2DEG to charged exciton PL with decreasing n_2D or with increasing magnetic field is attributed to the appearance of regions containing localized electrons as the filling factor decreases below v = 0.40.3. This results in simultaneous PL of the free hole-2DEG originating from electron puddles and of charged exciton from regions with localized electrons.
