Modeling the temperature dependence of magneto-optical absorption coefficients in nanostructured semiconductors
摘要
This work presents a theoretical model describing the temperature and magnetic-field dependence of the interband magneto-optical absorption coefficient in direct-bandgap semiconductor quantum wells. The model is based on the two-dimensional joint density of states in a quantizing magnetic field and incorporates thermal broadening effects. An analytical expression for the absorption coefficient is derived as a function of photon energy, magnetic field strength, temperature, and quantum-well thickness. The approach explains the oscillatory structure of the absorption spectrum arising from Landau level quantization and its gradual suppression with increasing temperature. Numerical simulations performed for InGaAs/GaAs and CdMnTe quantum wells show good agreement with available experimental data. The proposed model provides a useful framework for analyzing and designing magneto-optical semiconductor devices operating under varying temperature and magnetic-field conditions.
