Abstract
Abstract The far IR cyclotron resonance of conduction electrons is investigated in n-type indium antimonide in the quantum regimes, ħω c k B T and ħω c ⪢ k B T . The resonance peak position, half width, and the degree asymmetry in the line shape are studied as a function of temperature. In analyzing the experimental data, the three band model has been employed together with modern theoretical results of electron scattering by ionized impurities in the presence of a strong magnetic field. It is found that, for example for an experiment at 84 μm, the Une width depends very little on temperature between 4.2 and 45 K where the ionized impurity scattering is dominant, and increases rapidly with temperature above 45 K where the onset of phonon scattering is expected. Further details of the ionized impurity scattering were investigated by using three different laser wavelengths 84, 119 and 172μm. The line width at the phonon-limited temperature region depends very little on magnetic field and sample. The temperature dependence of the band gap was also determined by analysis of the resonance peak shift.
