Distribution of Oscillator Strengths for Recombination of Localised Excitons in Two Dimensions

arXiv:cond-mat/9612088 · doi:10.1016/S0960-0779(97)00014-3

Abstract

We investigate the distribution of oscillator strengths for the recombination of excitons in a two dimensional sample, trapped in local minima of the confinement potential: the results are derived from a statistical topographic model of the potential. The predicted distribution of oscillator strengths is very different from the Porter-Thomas disribution which usually characterises disordered systems, and is notable for the fact that small oscillator strengths are extremely rare.
