K. Hammura et al., Analysis of magneto-oscillatory spectra in cuprous oxide, with classical "quasi-closed" unstable trajectories, PROG T PH S, (138), 2000, pp. 143-144
A quantum manifestation of classical non-integrability is found and analyze
d in solid state spectroscopy. Magneto-oscillatory spectra in cuprous oxide
are observed and attributed to classical unstable trajectories of the syst
em of magnetized hydrogen-type atom which has long been a prototype of non-
integrable system. Classical trajectories are numerically calculated with v
arious initial conditions, and it is found that quasi-closed trajectories c
ontribute to the spectrum. The resultant trajectories are sorted in three g
roups according to their recurrence frequencies (quasi-period). The three q
uasi-periods are shown to be corresponding to the characteristic three peak
s of the auto-correlation function of photon absorbed excitonic state. This
novel method for assignment using quasi-closed unstable trajectories has i
mplications on complex spectrum remained unclear.
