✦ Synopsis

We report an experimental study of the excitonic spin relaxation dynamics in GaAs/AlGaAs Multiple Quantum Wells (MQW) presenting interface roughness by time and polarization resolved luminescence spectroscopy. The relaxation is found to occur mainly when the excitons are in the free state, before their localization. The initial polarization rate (\mathrm{P}(0)) is found to depend strongly on the energy as it approaches 100 % for a nearly resonant heavy hole exciton (XH) excitation whereas it is negative ( (\simeq-12 x) ) for a light hole exciton (XL) resonant excitation. We discuss the role of both band mixing and excitonic oscillator strength to explain these results. A significant energy shift ( up to (2 \mathrm{meV}) ) between the exciton spectra of opposite helicity is also observed. The time evolution of this energy shift is well correlated to the depolarization dynamics.

We report on the effect of photogenerated free carriers on the spectral diffusion and on the LO-phonon Raman scattering of resonantly excited excitons. This is observed by an exciton population redistribution between localized states and by a decrease in the Raman scattering intensity under an extre

We report the first measurements of the interaction of non-equilibrium phonons with twodimensional exciton gases (2DExGs). The rise in the effective temperature of the 2DExG produced by the phonons depends on the width of the quantum well and the exciton sheet density and hence on the ratio 5 -l (ex
