Momentum transfer due to electron–electron interaction (Coulomb drag) between two quantum wells, separated by a distance d, in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field, is studied at low temperatures. We find besides the well known Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, which also appear in the drag effect, the momentum transfer is markedly enhanced by the magnetic field.

We report a study of the angle-dependent millimetre-wave magnetoconductivity of the p-wave triplet-paired perovskite superconductor Sr 2 RuO 4. We find two harmonic series. We assign the first to interlayer cyclotron resonance of the β-Fermi surface and its harmonics, yielding a cyclotron effective mass of [Formula: see text]. We assign the second series, which contains only odd harmonics, to cyclotron resonance of the γ-Fermi surface, yielding a cyclotron effective mass of [Formula: see text]. In addition, we find a very strong absorption mode in the presence of a magnetic field component parallel to the quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) planes of the sample. Its dependence on the orientation of the magnetic field cannot be described in the context of conventional Q2D cyclotron resonance, and the origin of this mode is not yet clear.

Self-consistent calculations of the electronic structure of center n-δ-doped GaAs/Al x Ga 1-x As quantum wells under in-plane magnetic fields are presented. The field B is varied up to 20 Tesla for different quantum well widths L w and sheet donor concentrations N D . The magnetic field produces noticeable changes in the energy dispersions along an in-plane direction perpendicular to B. The effects of B are more pronounced for higher electronic subbands. It is found that the diamagnetic shifts increase with increasing L w and/or N D . Contrarily to what has been observed in modulation-doped quantum wells, in these δ-doped systems the electron energy dispersions keep the single conduction band minimum at the center of the Brillouin zone even for intense magnetic fields.

Here we present the results of magneto resistance measurements in tilted magnetic field and compare them with calculations. The comparison between calculated and measured spectra for the case of perpendicular fields enable us to estimate the dependence of the valley splitting as a function of the magnetic field and the total Landé g -factor (which is assumed to be independent of the magnetic field). Since both the exchange contribution to the Zeeman splitting as well as the valley splitting are properties associated with the 2D quantum confinement, they depend only on the perpendicular component of the magnetic field, while the bare Zeeman splitting depends on the total magnetic field. This information aided by the comparison between experimental and calculated gray scale maps permits to obtain separately the values of the exchange and the bare contribution to the g -factor.

The binding energy of shallow hydrogenic impurities in parabolic GaAs/GaAlAs quantum dots is calculated as a function of dot radius in the influence of magnetic field. The binding energy has been calculated following a variational procedure within the effective-mass approximation. Calculations are presented with constant effective-mass and position dependent effective masses. A finite confining potential well with depth is determined by the discontinuity of the band gap in the quantum dot and the cladding. The results show that the impurity binding energy (i) increases as the dot radius decreases for the infinite case, (ii) reaches a peak value around 1R* as the dot radius decreases and then diminishes to a limiting value corresponding to the radius for which there are no bound states in the well for the infinite case, and (iii) increases with the magnetic field. Also it is found that (i) the use of constant effective mass (0.067 m0) is justified for dot sizes ≥ a* where a* is the effective Bohr radius which is about 100 Å for GaAs , in the estimation of ionization energy and (ii) the binding energy shows complicated behavior when the position dependent mass is included for the dot size ≤ a*. These results are compared with the available existing literatures.

Abstract The scattering processes of longitudinal optical phonons in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells in a quantizing magnetic field are considered. The time of intrasubband scattering between Landau levels is calculated by using Fermi's golden rule. The dependence of the scattering rate on the magnitude of the magnetic field has been shown and the magnetic field can suppress scattering processes on longitudinal optical phonons. It is found that the scattering time depends linearly on the width of the quantum well.
