Broadband Terahertz Time-domain Spectroscopy of Quantum Materials in a Dilution Refrigerator

Other Condensed Matter 2026-01-19 v1

Abstract

We have constructed a terahertz time domain spectroscopy system using a Bluefors dilution refrigerator with a 7 T split-coil magnet. Using a gallium arsenide single quantum well sample, terahertz waveforms were measured at 145 mK in a magnetic field range from 0 to 6 Tesla to measure cyclotron resonance. Effective mass is found to be 0.073me0.073 m_{e}, which is larger than the commonly accepted bulk value of 0.068me0.068 m_{e}.
