Bound exciton complexes
associated with neutral and ionized donors.
(a) Schematic of donor freeze-out, ionization, and dynamical deionization.
Yellow arrow, laser excitation; dashed arrow, carrier relaxations.
(b) Table illustrating different quasi-particle (excited and ground)
states, relevant PL emissions, and optical transitions for different
Fermi level positions. The notation |···⟩ indicates
the quasi-particle state: D, donor ion; e, electron; h, hole; X, exciton; VAC, vacuum state. The red words above → indicate the names for
PL emissions defined in Figure 2a. (c) Red: energy shift between X0 and X0′ (ΔE = EX0 – EX0′) as a function of the laser power. Blue: PL
intensity of defect-bound excitons (D0) as a function of the laser power at Vg = −3 V, after removing the linear background.
