Ab. Dzyubenko et Ay. Sivachenko, Theory of internal transitions of charged excitons in quantum wells in magnetic fields, PHYS ST S-A, 178(1), 2000, pp. 519-523
For charged semiconductor complexes in magnetic fields B, we discuss an exa
ct classification of states, which is based on magnetic translations. In th
is scheme, in addition to the total orbital angular momentum projection M-z
and electron and hole spins S-e, S-h, a new exact quantum number appears.
This oscillator quantum number, k, is related physically to the center of t
he cyclotron motion of the complex as a whole. In the dipole approximation
k is strictly conserved in magneto-optical transitions. We discuss implicat
ions of this new exact selection rule for internal intraband magneto-optica
l transitions of charged excitons X- in quantum wells in B.
