چکیده
Using two optical techniques, we have studied the hot electron–optical phonon interactions in GaAs/AlxGa12xAs multiplequantum wells. Raman scattering measurements at 15 K are presented for the Al composition of x 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 1.0. The GaAs-like and AlAs-like phonon frequencies of the first-order modes are also measured as a function of Al composition. The optical phonon energies emitted by the photoexcited electrons in quantum wells are determined by using hot electron–neutral acceptor luminescence techniques. It is shown that the relaxation of hot electrons in the quantum wells is dominated by the GaAs LO phonon emission for small x, but by AlAs-like LO phonons for larger Al composition. q 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Dielectric properties, including linear (refractive index) and second-order nonlinear optical responses, of LiNb12yTayO3-type mixed single crystals with y 0:00; 0.81, 0.92, 0.97, and 1.00 have been quantitatively studied. Based on the corresponding crystal compositions, the chemical bond method was applied. The results show that the dielectric susceptibilities at 1.064 mm decrease remarkably ...

We use dynamical local-®eld corrections to study the plasmon dispersion and damping in double-layer electron systems. The wave vector and frequency-dependent local-®elds describing the exchange-correlation effects are obtained within the quantum version of self-consistent ®eld approach. The calculated plasmon dispersions are modi®ed by the dynamic local-®elds at intermediate wave vectors (i.e. ...

Extinction spectra of spheres made of materials having dispersive permittivity and permeability are calculated. A dispersion in the microwave region, similar to that which has recently been achieved in artificial composite media is assumed. When either the permittivity or the permeability (but not both) is negative, there occurs a band of strong surface polariton absorption. However, when both ...

Recent magneto-transport experiments on high mobility two-dimensional electron systems have provided strong evidence that a new class of collective electronic states exists at high Landau level occupancy. Among the phenomena observed are strongly anisotropic resistances near half-®lling and curious re-entrant integer quantum Hall states in the ̄anks of high Landau levels. These results have bee...

Nanostructures at surfaces and interfaces are a fertile testing ground for bringing the idea of `tailored solids' towards reality. Electronic properties can be controlled systematically by con®nement or by interface effects. The presence of a single crystal substrate allows for the self-assembly of highly regular nanoobjects, such as stripes and strings of dots with sizes of about 10 nm. Using ...
