Thermalization, diffusion and photoluminescence of statistically-degenerate indirect excitons in coupled quantum wells

This thesis is a theoretical investigation into the properties of indirect excitons in coupled quantum wells at low lattice temperatures. The relaxational thermodynamics, optical decay and diffusion of the statistically-degenerate excitons are modelled theoretically and numerically. The excitons...
