Diamagnetic Shift and Localization of Excitons in Disordered Quantum Wells — •Michal Grochol, Frank Grosse, and Roland Zimmermann — Institut für Physik der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Newtonstr. 15, 12489 Berlin, Germany

Recent nearfield photoluminescence experiments of excitons in quantum wells (QWs) [1] have shown that the diamagnetic shift varies among individual exciton lines. We present calculations for exciton states in QWs with alloy and interface disorder under the influence of a perpendicular magnetic field. Since a separation of the centre-of-mass motion would lead to a fixed diamagnetic shift for all states, we solve the full Schrödinger equation for the electron and hole in-plane coordinates [2]. We compare several numerical treatments like the Leapfrog method and the Lanczos method. The state-dependent diamagnetic shift gives additional information about exciton localization and can explain experimental data.
