Cyclotron resonance in HgTe/CdTe-based heterostructures in high magnetic fields

چکیده
: Cyclotron resonance study of HgTe/CdTe-based quantum wells with both inverted and normal band structures in quantizing magnetic fields was performed. In semimetallic HgTe quantum wells with inverted band structure, a hole cyclotron resonance line was observed for the first time. In the samples with normal band structure, interband transitions were observed with wide line width due to quantum well width fluctuations. In all samples, impurity-related magnetoabsorption lines were revealed. The obtained results were interpreted within the Kane 8·8 model, the valence band offset of CdTe and HgTe, and the Kane parameter EP being adjusted.

Electron-Transport and Cyclotron-Resonance in [211]-Oriented HgTe-CdTe Superlattices
We discuss a magneto transport and magneto-optical investigation of [211 ]-oriented HgTe-CdTe superlattices. Measurements were performed on seven n-type samples with well widths in the range 41-125 A and energy gaps between 0 and 128 meV. Both magnetotransport and magneto-optical results give evidence for an additional electron species besides the superlattice electrons and holes usually observ...

We present a comprehensive theoretical formulation for magneto-optical properties in narrow-band-gap and zero-band-gap Hg Te-CdTe superlattices. It is found to be crucial that the details of the unique band structure be taken into account in full generality. Statistical factors also play a dominant role in the magneto-optical properties, since the location of the Fermi level determines which of...

We review recent cyclotron resonance studies of semiconductors performed in high magnetic fields. This traditional semiconductor characterization method has been used to study some of the recentlydeveloped materials systems, including ferromagnetic III-V semiconductors and two-dimensional electron gases formed in InSb/InAlSb and GaN/AlGaN heterostructures. These studies have not only provided a...
