The magnetophotoluminescence (MPL) behavior of a GaAs/Al{sub 0.3}Ga{sub 0.7}As single heterojunction has been investigated to 60 T. We observed negatively charged singlet (X{sub s}{sup -}) and triplet (X{sub t}{sup -}) exciton states that are formed at high magnetic fields beyond the {nu}=1 quantum Hall state. The variation of the charged exciton binding energies are in good agreement with theoretical predictions. The MPL transition intensities for the X{sub s}{sup -} and X{sub t}{sup -} states showed variations (maxima and minima) at the {nu}=1/3 and 1/5 fractional quantum Hall states as a consequence of a large reduction of electron-hole screening at these filling factors.
