Abstract:An analytical expression for the absorption coefficient of electromagnetic radiation in a quantum wire is obtained. We consider the case of a field lying in the plane perpendicular to the wire axis. The calculation is performed using second-order perturbation theory with consideration of electron scattering by ionized impurities. We demonstrate the resonant character of the absorption and find the position of resonance frequencies in the dependence on the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field.
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.
