The ns (n⩾2) Wannier series are ideal two-dimensional excitons whose binding energies are enhanced by both the spatial confinement and image charge effects. Exceptionally large binding energy of the 1s exciton (361 meV) is also due to the prominent image charge effect. We also observed unique blueshifts of the 1s excitons under the electric field perpendicular to the quantum-well layers, for which we demonstrated with calculations that the image charge effect plays a significant role. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
