Abstract
We report on the cyclotron resonance (CR) study in InAs/AlSb (001) quantum well (QW) heterostructures with two occupied electronic subbands. Experimental results are compared with the CR energy calculations in the self-consistent Hartree approximation. Our theoretical approach is based on the 8-band k · p Hamiltonian and takes into account the band nonparabolicity, lattice-mismatch deformation, and spin-orbit coupling. We find out a large splitting of CR line associated with a difference in cyclotron energies in the first and second electronic subbands. The results of CR study in InAs/AlSb QW heterostructures reveal pronounced effect of the “built-in” electric field on CR spectra in the samples with two occupied electronic subbands.
