Abstract:Summary The theory of cyclotron resonance (CR) lineshape of a two-dimensional electron gas (2 DEG) due to the electron-phonon interaction in multiple-quantum-well structures (MQWS) is investigated. The contribution of the deformation potential acoustic and piezoelectric phonon scattering to the broadening of the cyclotron resonance spectra (CRSB) of such a system is calculated fro GaAs/AlAs. The piezoelectric phonon scattering contribution to the linewidth is smaller as compared to the deformation potential acoustic phonon scattering but is significantly comparable. The magnetic-field dependence of CRSB due to the deformation potential acoustic and piezoelectric phonons isB 1/2 andB 1/4, respectively, and the frequency shift Δ N,p =0 for both interactions in the elastic-scattering approximation. Observed numerical values of the CRSB indicate that at low temperatures acoustic and piezoelectric phonons are dominant scatterers and interact strongly with 2 DEG in MQWS where the impurity scattering is suppressed due to the modulation doping. To speed up publication, the author of this paper has agreed to not receive the proofs for correction.
