Charged mobile complexes in magnetic fields: A novel selection rule for magneto-optical transitions

Abstract

The implications of magnetic translations for internal optical transitions of charged mobile electron-hole ($e$--$h$) complexes and ions in a uniform magnetic field $B$ are discussed. It is shown that transitions of such complexes are governed by a novel exact selection rule. Internal intraband transitions of two-dimensional (2D) charged excitons $X^-$ in strong magnetic fields are considered as an illustrative example.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
