Abstract

We study the dependence of the photoluminescence decay of the negatively charged exciton on the electron concentration for different excitation energies. The radiative lifetime of the trion, directly measured when exciting the trion resonantly, is found to be constant for the studied concentration range from about 3 x 1010 cm-2 upwards.
