Diamagnetic shift of disorder-localized excitons in narrow quantum wells — •M. Erdmann¹, M. Wenderoth¹, R. G. Ulbrich¹, S. Malzer², and G. Döhler² — ¹Universität Göttingen, IV. Physikalisches Institut, Germany — ²Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Institut für technische Physik, Germany

Magneto-µ-photoluminescence (µPL) experiments on narrow GaAs/Al_0.3Ga_0.7As quantum wells reveal an increase in diamagnetic shift of localized exciton states with emission energy. In a narrow GaAs/AlAs double quantum well, even negative diamagnetic shift is observed. µPL spectra were obtained in a confocal setup with a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the quantum well plane. This is the first experimental evidence that the diamagnetic shift of disorder-localized excitons is a sum of two contributions: A positive shift from the relative motion, and a negative center-of-mass shift resulting from disorder.
