A HYBRID-PHONON RESONANCE IN A QUASI-2-DIMENSIONAL NANOSTRUCTURE

The coefficient of absorption of electromagnetic radiation by a quasi- two-dimensional electron gas placed in an oblique magnetic field is fo und. The scattering of electrons by optical phonons is shown to lead t o resonant absorption. The shape of the resonance peaks on the absorpt ion curve is studied, and their doubler nature is demonstrated. Finall y, the dependence of the resonance peaks on the angle between the magn etic field vector and the confinement plane is investigated. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
