Photonic Drag Effect for One-Dimensional Electrons in a Longitudinal Magnetic Field with D(-)-Centers Participation

Abstract

The impurity photonic drag effect (PDE), theory for semiconductive quantum wire (QW) in a longitudinal (along the quantum wire axis) magnetic field B, has been developed. The PDE is due to the photon longitudinal momentum transmission to localized electrons, under optical transitions from D(-)-states to QW hybrid-quantum states, if the QW is described by the parabolic confinement potential. The analytical expression for the drag current (DC) density has been obtained within the framework of zero-range potential model and in the effective mass approximation. The drag current spectral dependence has been investigated for various values of B and QW parameters, under electron scattering on the dotty-impurities system. The drag current spectral dependence is characterized by Zeeman doublet with a pronounced beak-type peak. This peak is related to electron optical transitions from D(-)-states to the states with the magnetic quantum number m=1. With an increase of the magnetic field B the beak-type peak is shifted to short-wave spectrum region, and the peak height considerably increases. We discuss the possibility of using of the one-dimensional drag current effect, in a longitudinal magnetic field, to develop a new type of laser radiation detectors.
