Abstract:An attempt is made to study the electronic contribution to the second- and third-order elastic constants in ultrathin films of strained semiconductors under magnetic quantization in the presence of broadening on the basis of a newly formulated electron dispersion law. It is found, taking stressed n-InSb as an example, that the carrier contribution to the second- and third-order elastic constants oscillates with increasing carrier degeneracy and decreasing film thickness, respectively, in different manners and the stress enhances their numerical values. A relationship between the said contributions and the thermoelectric power has been derived for quantum confined semiconductors having arbitrary dispersion laws and our analysis agrees quite well with the suggested relationship.
