Abstract in another language

The combined influence of biexcitons and the two-exciton scattering continuum is analyzed. The analysis is based on a density matrix description of a two-band semiconductor accounting for mean-field contributions, bound biexcitons and the correlated parts of the two-exciton scattering continuum on a common footing. Consistent with the microscopic formulation, the influence of biexcitons as well as that of the two-exciton continuum is represented by a correlation kernel which is obtained from an integral equation. For a one-dimensional model four-wave mixing signals are calculated solving numerically the resulting coupled nonlinear equations for excitation conditions in the vicinity of the 1s resonance. A strong compensation between the exciton–exciton continuum and the mean-field contribution is found for all excitation conditions studied. Surprisingly, biexcitonic signatures turn out to be enhanced when continua are included in the description.
