Wave Functions and Energies of Magnetopolarons in Semiconductor Quantum Wells

The classification of magnetopolarons in semiconductor quantum wells (QW) is represented. Magnetopolarons appear due to the Johnson - Larsen effect. The wave functions of usual and combined magnetopolarons are obtained by the diodanalization of the Schrodinger equation.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figure

Effect of the Spatial Dispersion on the Shape of a Light Pulse in a Quantum Well

Reflectance, transmittance and absorbance of a symmetric light pulse, the carrying frequency of which is close to the frequency of interband transitions in a quantum well, are calculated. Energy levels of the quantum well are assumed discrete, and two closely located excited levels are taken into account. A wide quantum well (the width of which is comparable to the length of the light wave, corresponding to the pulse carrying frequency) is considered, and the dependance of the interband matrix element of the momentum operator on the light wave vector is taken into account. Refractive indices of barriers and quantum well are assumed equal each other. The problem is solved for an arbitrary ratio of radiative and nonradiative lifetimes of electronic excitations. It is shown that the spatial dispersion essentially affects the shapes of reflected and transmitted pulses. The largest changes occur when the radiative broadening is close to the difference of frequencies of interband transitions taken into account.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure

Transmission of a Symmetric Light Pulse through a Wide QW

The reflection, transmission and absorption of a symmetric electromagnetic pulse, which carrying frequency is close to the frequency of an interband transition in a QW (QW), are obtained. The energy levels of a QW are assumed discrete, one exited level is taken into account. The case of a wide QW is considered when a length of the pulse wave, appropriate to the carrying frequency, is comparable to the QW's width. In figures the time dependencies of the dimensionless reflection, absorption are transmission are represented. It is shown, that the spatial dispersion and a distinction in refraction indexes influence stronger reflection.Comment: 8 pages,8 figures with caption

Elastic Light Scattering by Semiconductor Quantum Dots

Elastic light scattering by low-dimensional semiconductor objects is investigated theoretically. The differential cross section of resonant light scattering on excitons in quantum dots is calculated. The polarization and angular distribution of scattered light do not depend on the quantum-dot form, sizes and potential configuration if light wave lengths exceed considerably the quantum-dot size. In this case the magnitude of the total light scattering cross section does not depend on quantum-dot sizes. The resonant total light scattering cross section is about a square of light wave length if the exciton radiative broadening exceeds the nonradiative broadening. Radiative broadenings are calculated

Magnetooptical effects in quantum wells irradiated with light pulses

The method of detection and investigation of the magnetopolaron effect in the semiconductor quantum wells (QW) in a strong magnetic field, based on pulse light irradiation and measuring the reflected and transmitted pulses, has been proposed. It has been shown that a beating amplitude on the frequencies, corresponding to the magnetopolaron energy level splitting, depends strongly from the exciting pulse width. The existence of the time points of the total reflection and total transparency has been predicted. The high orders of the perturbation theory on electron-electromagnetic field interaction have been taken into account.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures with captions, corrected typos, figures are reedeted to improve their quality in accordance with the Referee requirement; Phys.
