Abstract
We investigate the dynamics of excitons created in a quantum well embedded in a double-barrier resonant-tunneling diode under applied bias. We find that the exciton dynamics is highly correlated with carrier tunneling processes. The tunneling favors exciton relaxation via exciton-carrier scattering processes.
