摘要
We have carried out temperature and power-dependent studies of the photoluminescence properties of a set of SiGe/Si quantum wells. Our aim was to investigate the features of the exciton - gas electron-hole plasma transition (Mott transition) in such structures. An analysis of the electron-hole plasma band shape allows us to determine the electron-hole pair density for various levels of pumping power and temperatures; particularly, a pair density range within which the Mott transition takes place was estimated. It was shown that excitons and plasma in SiGe/Si quantum wells can coexist in a wide range of carrier density.
