We study linear and non-linear coefficients of the intersubband absorption in InSb-based stepped quantum wells subjected to an in-plane magnetic field. We consider also a transverse electric field to achieve near resonance conditions.…
We point out a novel manifestation of many-body correlations in the linear optical response of electrons confined in a quantum well. Namely, we demonstrate that along with conventional absorption peak at frequency close to intersubband…
A theory of the circular photogalvanic effect caused by spin splitting in quantum wells is developed. Direct interband transitions between the hole and electron size-quantized subbands are considered. The photocurrent excitation spectrum is…
The optical response of a heavily doped quantum well, with two occupied subbands, has been investigated as a function of the electronic density. It is shown that the two optically active transitions are mutually coupled by dipole-dipole…
In semiconductor heterostructures, bulk and structural inversion asymmetry and spin-orbit coupling induce a k-dependent spin splitting of valence and conduction subbands, which can be viewed as being caused by momentum-dependent crystal…
Spin dynamics of optically excited electrons confined in asymmetric coupled quantum wells are investigated through time resolved Faraday rotation experiments. The inter-well coupling is shown to depend on applied electric field and barrier…
We report on the observation of linear and circular magnetogyrotropic photogalvanic effects in InSb/AlInSb quantum well structures. We show that intraband (Drude-like) absorption of terahertz radiation in the heterostructures causes a dc…
We study two dimensional electron systems confined in wide quantum wells whose subband separation is comparable with the Zeeman energy. Two N = 0 Landau levels from different subbands and with opposite spins are pinned in energy when they…
Magnetoresistance of two-dimensional electron systems with several occupied subbands oscillates owing to periodic modulation of the probability of intersubband transitions by the quantizing magnetic field. In addition to previous…
Ultrafast intersubband excitation of electrons in tunnell-coupled wells is studied depending on the structure parameters, the duration of the infrared pump and the detuning frequency. The temporal dependencies of the photoinduced…
A two-dimensional (2D) quantum electron system is characterized by the quantized energy levels, or subbands, in the out-of-plane direction. Populating higher subbands and controlling the inter-subband transitions have wide technological…
The spin-orbit interaction and spin-relaxation mechanisms of a shallow InAs quantum well heterostructure are investigated by magnetoconductance measurements as a function of an applied top-gate voltage. The data were fit using the…
InSb is one of the promising candidates to realize a topological state through proximity induced superconductivity in a material with strong spin-orbit interactions. In two-dimensional systems, thin barriers are needed to allow strong…
We investigate high resolution laser absorption spectroscopy of a single InGaAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dot embedded in a field-effect structure. We show experimentally that the interband optical absorption to the lower Zeeman branch of…
We present a study of the nonlinear intersubband (ISB) response of conduction electrons in a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well to strong THz radiation, using a density-matrix approach combined with time-dependent density-functional theory. We…
Intervalley mixing between conduction-band states in low-dimensional Si/SiGe heterostructures induces splitting between nominally degenerate energy levels. The symmetric double-valley effective mass approximation and the empirical…
We investigated the electron transport property of the InGaAs/GaAs double quantum dots, the electron g-factors of which are different from each other. We found that in a magnetic field, the resonant tunneling is suppressed even if one of…
We theoretically study the coherent nonlinear response of electrons confined in semiconductor quantum wells under the effect of an electromagnetic radiation close to resonance with an intersubband transition. Our approach is based on the…
Based on a microscopic many-particle theory, we predict large optical gain in the probe and background-free four-wave mixing directions caused by excitonic instabilities in semiconductor quantum wells. For a single quantum well with…
We analyze the modification of the intersubband absorption of electrons in quantum wells under intense THz irradiation. An expression for the induced current is obtained, based on the adiabatic approach and the resonant approximation. We…
