Abstract

A combined theoretical and experimental analysis of the resonant Rayleigh scattering by excitons in a disordered GaAs quantum well with monolayer islands is reported. Experimentally, the coherent resonant Rayleigh scattering is deduced by means of both statistical speckle analysis and passively stabilized spectral interferometry. Theoretically, the effect of disorder is modelled by solving the time-dependent Schrodinger equation for the exciton center-of-mass motion. The disorder potential used in the model includes the detailed monolayer structure of both heterointerfaces, the short-range disorder due to segregation, and a correlation between the upper and lower interfaces. The simulations reproduce all features observed both in frequency- and time-resolved measurements. The comparison between theory and experiment bears strong evidence that the monolayer fluctuations in the two heterointerfaces are highly correlated and have similar length scales.

Anxiety disorder

Anxiety disorders are a cluster of mental disorders characterized by significant and uncontrollable feelings of anxiety and fear such that a person's social, occupational, and personal function are significantly impaired. Anxiety may cause physical and cognitive symptoms, such as restlessness, irritability, easy fatiguability, difficulty concentrating, increased heart rate, chest pain, abdominal pain, and a variety of other symptoms that may vary based on the individual.

Personality disorder

Personality disorders (PD) are a class of mental disorders characterized by enduring maladaptive patterns of behavior, cognition, and inner experience, exhibited across many contexts and deviating from those accepted by the individual's culture. These patterns develop early, are inflexible, and are associated with significant distress or disability. The definitions vary by source and remain a matter of controversy.

Mood disorder

A mood disorder, also known as an affective disorder, is any of a group of conditions of mental and behavioral disorder where a disturbance in the person's mood is the main underlying feature. The classification is in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and International Classification of Diseases (ICD).
