Abstract

AbstractUsing the bosonization technique, we develop a theory for the Raman scattering of the interacting electrons in quantum wires. The energy spectra of the collective excitations in a two‐subband model are given. The density correlation functions for the Raman cross section are calculated. The charge and spin density excitations observed in recent Raman experiments are identified. Hitherto unexplained “single particle excitations” which appear near resonance and are independent of the relative polarization of incoming and scattered light are shown to originate in higher order spin density excitations, which can be evaluated due to the bosonization. For the intraband excitations, the peak strengths in the Raman cross section as a function of the frequency of the incoming light is explicitely calculated. Power law behaviors depending on the strength of the interaction are predicted.
