The absorption coefficient of a two-photon excitation in which phonons participate during the transition is calculated for an indirect-gap semiconductor under a uniform DC-Field. Below Eg/2 tunneling is found, while above Eg/2 Franz-Keldysh oscillations are absent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
