W. Szuszkiewicz et al., INFLUENCE OF PLASMON-PHONON COUPLING ON THE ELECTRON-IMPURITY INTERACTION IN THE FREE-CARRIER ABSORPTION, Acta Physica Polonica. A, 87(2), 1995, pp. 555-558
An experimental and theoretical evidence that the electron-impurity sc
attering is modified in the presence of the electromagnetic field osci
llating with the frequency corresponding to the optical phonon energy
is given. The coupled plasmon-phonon mode related feature in the refle
ctivity spectrum can be used to determine the upper edge of the LO pho
non frequency band in highly doped materials.
