We present a theory for the electronic and optical properties of nand p-type In1−xMnxAs in ultra-high magnetic fields. An eight-band effective mass model based on the Pidgeon–Brown model and including the wavevector dependence of the electronic states as well as the s–d and p–d exchange interactions with Mn d-electrons is used to determine the electronic states. The optical properties such as c...

Cyclotron resonance (CR) is considered one of the fundamental phenomena in conducting systems. In this paper, we study CR a gated two-dimensional (2D) electron system (ES). Namely, analyze absorption electromagnetic radiation incident normal to 2DES, where standard dielectric substrate separates 2D sheet and metallic steering electrode ("gate"); whole placed perpendicular magnetic field. Our an...

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...

Taking into account the interaction of an electron with interface optical phonons as well as bulk longitudinal optical phonons, we study the cyclotron resonance of magnetopolarons at the interfaces of polar crystals. We consider both the absorption and emission processes in our calculation using the Green’s function method at finite temperatures. Consequently, different temperature characterist...

This introductory paper contains personal perspectives about the importance of cyclotron resonance in forming our modern view of solids. The papers following this one will discuss the discovery, refinements, and some of the latest developments. Although I will touch on some of these subjects, I leave the details to the other authors and in the main focus on the conceptual impact of the work. I ...
