The influence of confined optical phonons on the Hall Coefficient (HC) in a Cylindrycal Quantum Wire (CQW) with an infinite potential (for electron – confined optical phonons scattering). Consider a case where CQW is placed in a perpendicular magnetic field , a constant - electric field  and an intense electromagnetic wave . By using the quantum kinetic equation for electrons interacting with Confined Optical Phonon (COP), we obtain analytical expressions for (HC), which are different from in comparison to those obtained for the HC in the case of normal bulk semiconductor and in the case of cylindrycal quantum wire with electron – unconfined phonons scattering mechanism. Numerical calculations are also applied for AlGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs cylindrycal quantum wire, we see the HC depends on magnetic field B, temperature T, frequency Ω and amplitude E0 of laser radiation and especially quantum index m1 and m2 characterizing the phonon confinement. This influence is due to the quantum index m1 and m2, which makes an increase of Hall coefficient by 2,3 times in comparition with the case of unconfined phonons. When the quantum number m1 and m2 goes to zero, the result is the same as in the case of unconfined phonons.

The optical gain in the active region of quantum cascade laser in an external magnetic field is analyzed. When the magnetic field is applied in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the layers, electron dispersion is broken into series of discrete Landau levels. This additional confinement strongly modifies the lifetime of electrons in the upper state of the laser transition, which is controlled by electron-phonon scattering. Landau levels are magnetically tuneable and, depending on their configuration, phonon emission is either inhibited or resonantly enhanced. This translates into a strong modulation of the population inversion, and consequently of the optical gain by varying the magnetic field. Numerical results are presented for a structure previously considered by Smirnov et al. [Phys. Rev B 66 (2002) 125317] which is designed to emit radiation at λ~11.4µm, with the magnetic field varied in the range 10-60T. The effects of band nonparabolicity are taken into account in this model.

This paper studies the influence of a strong electromagnetic wave (EMW) on the magneto-thermoelectric effects in a cylindrical quantum wire with an infinite potential (CQWIP) (for electron - optical phonon scattering) under the influence of electric field , magnetic field  and a strong EMW (laser radiation)  (where  and  are amplitude and frequency of EMW, respectively), based on the quantum kinetic equation for electrons. The study obtained the analytic expressions for the kinetic tensors  and the Ettingshausen coefficient (EC) in the CQWIP with the dependence on the frequency, the amplitude of EMW, the Quantum Wire (CQWIP) parameters, the magnetic field and the temperature.  The study results were numerically evaluated and graphed for GaAs/GaAsAl quantum wire. Then, the results in this case were compared with those in the case of the bulk semiconductors and other low-dimension systems in order to show the difference and the novelty of the current results. Moreover, it is realized that as the EMW frequency increases, the EC fluctuates with a stable trend, and the appearance of the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations pattern when the dependence of EC on the magnetic field is surveyed.
