Abstract
The effect of the exciton continuum on resonant Raman scattering in GaAs quantum wells is investigated. A k-space sampling technique is used to deal with exciton states, including the effects of valence-band mixing. Discrete and continuum exciton states are included in our calculation. We find that the resonant Raman spectra so obtained are in much better agreement with experiment compared with those that do not include the exciton continuum states.Keywords
