Aharonov-Bohm Effect for Neutral Excitons in Quantum Rings

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Physics of Quantum Rings

Abstract

Quantum interference patterns predicted by theory due to the finite structure of neutral excitons in InAs quantum rings are corroborated experimentally in the magneto-photoluminescence spectra of these nanostructures. The effects associated to built in electric fields and to the temperature on these Aharonov-Bohm-like oscillations are described and confirmed by complementary experimental procedures.
