Absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the quantum well placed in a magnetic field
Abstract
The absorption of electromagnetic radiation by electrons of the quantum well is investigated. These calculations take into account the spin-orbit interaction (SOI) in the Rashba model. Analytical expression of the absorption coefficient is obtained. Resonant frequencies and positions of the resonance peaks were found.
