چکیده

The Fröhlich interaction is one of the main electron-phonon intrinsic interactions in polar materials originating from the coupling of one itinerant electron with the macroscopic electric field generated by any longitudinal optical (LO) phonon. Infrared magnetoabsorption measurements of doped GaAs quantum well structures have been carried out in order to test the concept of Fröhlich interaction and polaron mass in such systems. These new experimental results lead one to question the validity of this concept in a real system.

Comment on "Fröhlich mass in GaAs-based structures".

In a recent Letter [1], Faugeras et al. investigate the cyclotron resonance (CR) spectra of doped GaAs quantum well structures. From an analysis of their data these authors question the validity of the concept of the Fröhlich interaction and the polaron mass in a real system. It is stated in Ref. [1], that Fröhlich's polaron theory would predict a resonant magnetopolaron coupling near the longi...

محاسبه ضریب عبور تشدید تونل‌زنی از چند لایه‌های GaAlAs/GaAs

  A theoretical study of resonant tunneling in multilayered GaAlAs/GaAs structures are presented. The spectrum of resonant energies and its dependence on the barrier structure are analyzed from calculated profiles of barrier transparency versus energy, and from current voltage characteristics computed at selected temperatures and Fermi levels. The present formalism is based on the effective mas...

GaAs Coupled Micro Resonators with Enhanced Sensitive Mass Detection

This work demonstrates the improvement of mass detection sensitivity and time response using a simple sensor structure. Indeed, complicated technological processes leading to very brittle sensing structures are often required to reach high sensitivity when we want to detect specific molecules in biological fields. These developments constitute an obstacle to the early diagnosis of diseases. An ...

Conduction band spectra in self-assembled InAs/GaAs dots: A comparison of effective mass and an eight-band approach

Strained epitaxy has been shown to produce high quality InAs/GaAs quantum dot structures by single step epitaxy. While effective mass-based approaches have been used for quantum structures, the nature of the strain and quantum confinement in self-assembled dots is such that this is not a good approximation. In this letter, we use an eight-band k•p formalism to find the electronic spectra in InA...

The tailoring of impact ionization phenomenon using pseudomorphic structures - applications to 1 InGaAIAs on GaAs and InP I substrates

In this paper the potential of utilizing strain for suppressing impact ionization is evaluated. It is found that if compressive strain is introduced without altering the bandgap (e.g. by using properly tailored InGaAlAs alloys) the threshold energy for electron impact ionization is significantlv increased for both GaAs-based and InP-based materials. Pseudomorphic devices such as n-type In,Ga, -...
