Popis: Spin-singlet and spin-triplet internal transitions of quasi-two-dimensional, negatively charged magneto-excitons (X-) and their evolution with excess electron density have been studied in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum-wells by optically detected resonance (ODR) spectroscopy. In the dilute electron limit, due to magnetic translational invariance, the ODR spectra are dominated by bound-to-continuum bands in contrast to the superficially similar negatively-charged-donor system D-, which exhibits strictly bound-to-bound transitions. With increasing excess electron density in the wells in the magnetic field region corresponding to Landau level filling factors nu < 2 the X- like transitions are blue-shifted; they are absent for nu > 2. The blue-shifted transitions are explained in terms of a new type of collective excitation -- magnetoplasmons bound to a mobile valence band hole, which demonstrates the many-body nature of "exciton-like" magnetoluminescence for nu < 2.
