Abstract

We report on resonant Raman scattering by neutral acceptors and LO-phonons in two narrow, undoped multi-quantum well structures upon excitation within the inhomogeneously broadened (el :hhl) 1S exciton band. We show that the electronic Raman scattering resonates strongly in the spectral range of localized excitons while that involving LO phonons resonates with delocalized excitons. The electronic Raman scattering depends superlinearly on the exciting laser intensity, showing that ionized acceptors are neutralized by the excitation. Its intensity is approximately one to three orders of magnitude greater than that of the phonon scattering for laser intensities in the range of 3-300 W/cm2.
