Cyclotron Resonance of Itinerant Holes in Ferromagnetic InMnAs/GaSb Heterostructures

We report the first observation of hole cyclotron resonance (CR) in ferromagnetic InMnAs/GaSb heterostructures both in the high-temperature paramagnetic phase and the low-temperature ferromagnetic phase. We clearly resolve two resonances that exhibit strong temperature dependence in position, linewidth, and intensity. We attribute the two resonances to the so-called fundamental CR transitions expected for delocalized holes in the valence band in the magnetic quantum limit, demonstrating the existence of $p$-like itinerant holes that are describable within the Luttinger-Kohn effective mass theory.

Photo-thermal transitions of magneto-excitons in quantum wells

By monitoring changes in excitonic photoluminescence (PL) that are induced by terahertz (THz) radiation, we observe resonant THz absorption by magnetoexcitons in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells. Changes in the PL spectrum are explored as a function of temperature and magnetic field, providing insight into the mechanisms which allow THz absorption to modulate PL. The strongest PL-quenching occurs at the heavy hole $1s\to 2p^+$ resonance where heavy hole excitons are photo-thermally converted into light hole excitons.

Ultrahigh field electron cyclotron resonance absorption in In$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$As films

We have carried out an ultrahigh field cyclotron resonance study of $n$-type In$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$As films, with Mn composition $x$ ranging from 0 to 12%, grown on GaAs by low temperature molecular beam epitaxy. We observe that the electron cyclotron resonance peak shifts to lower field with increasing $x$. A detailed comparison of experimental results with calculations based on a modified Pidgeon-Brown model allows us to estimate the {\em s-d} and {\em p-d} exchange coupling constants, $α$ and $β$, for this important III-V dilute magnetic semiconductor system.

Excitonic Dynamical Franz-Keldysh Effect

The Dynamical Franz-Keldysh Effect is exposed by exploring near-bandgap absorption in the presence of intense THz electric fields. It bridges the gap between the DC Franz- Keldysh effect and multi-photon absorption and competes with the THz AC Stark Effect in shifting the energy of the excitonic resonance. A theoretical model which includes the strong THz field non-perturbatively via a non-equilibrium Green Functions technique is able to describe the Dynamical Franz-Keldysh Effect in the presence of excitonic absorption.
