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
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

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
