Far Infrared Investigation of Plasmon-LO Phonon Coupling and Surface Polaritons Modes in Donor Doped Cd1-xHgxTe and CdTe Thin Layer on GaAs Substrate

Infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy has been used to investigate phonon and plasmon modes in Cd_1-xHg_xTe and CdTe thin layer on GaAs substrate. Attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectroscopy has been used to excite surface plasmon and phonon polaritons. The plasmon-LO phonon coupling modes in samples are studied by dispersion curve calculation for various carrier concentrations. There exist three branches of coupled modes in dispersion curve. For analysis of the far infrared polarized reflectivity spectra we employ the harmonic oscillator dielectiic function model and the Drude model for free carrier response. We find that the coupling modes dependent to the concentration of free carriers. Furthermore, the experimental data have been used to calculate carrier concentration, composition parameter, mobility of carrier, thickness of layer and gap energy.     

The Investigation of Bulk and Surface Polariton Modes in Ga1?xNxAs by Using Infrared Magneto Spectroscopy

We present and discuss infrared magnetoplasma reflectivity and surface polariton modes in Ga_1–xN_xAs. It assumed that the sample is characterized by a magnetoplasma dielectric tensor. Surface polariton dispersion for two component magnetoplasma was calculated from reflectivity spectra data. We detect transverse optic phonon of GaN sublattice in 470 cm^-1. The origin of sharp feature in p-polarization reflectivity about 300 cm^–1 as well as LO phonon frequency of GaAs sublattice is due to Brewster mode. An interesting feature of surface modes in Voigt geometry is nonreciprocalicity, which means that the frequency changes when the direction of propagation is reversed. Also, the infrared magnetoplasma reflectivity of GaNAs should be providing determination of the electrons and heavy holes effective mass and carrier's concentration.     

Minimum of oscillator strength of excitons in ultra-narrow GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells:: Theory and experiment

A theoretical and experimental study of the exciton in ultra-narrow quantum wells (QWs) is performed. A crossover from strong (separate localization of electron and hole levels) to weak confinement (with localization of excitonic center of mass) is predicted to occur for decreasing thickness, and is characterized by a minimum of the oscillator strength per unit area. Cathodoluminescence measurements performed on a series of GaAs/Al_0.35Ga_0.65As QWs with thicknesses from one to eight monolayers show a minimum of the oscillator strength, in agreement with theory, and indicate that the crossover from strong to weak confinement occurs at a thickness of about three monolayers for this composition.
