One- and two-photon-induced cyclotron-phonon resonance in modified-Poschl-Teller quantum well

We study the two-photon-induced cyclotron-phonon resonance (CPR) effect resulting from the interaction between electrons and phonons in a quantum well with the modified-Poschl-Teller (MPT) potential. The CPR is considered via the magneto-optical absorption coefficient (MOAC) and the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM). Numerical results are presented for a typical GaAs MPT quantum well. It is found that the quantum well parameters, such as well-depth and well-width, the magnetic field, and the temperature affect significantly the energy separation, the MOAC, and the FWHM. Obtained results agree well with previous theoretical and experimental results. Especially, we found two new rules of the well-depth and well-width-dependent FWHM, which should be tested by experimental works to examine their validities.
