Abstract

The phonon-assisted cyclotron resonance (PACR) effect in a single-layer graphene on a GaAs substrate are theoretically studied via one and two-photon absorption processes. The result is limited by the combined interaction of the extrinsic potential of piezoelectric surface acoustic phonons of the substrate (PA) and of the intrinsic deformation potential of acoustic phonons of graphene (DA). The two-photon absorption process gives a significant contribution to magneto-optical absorption coefficient compared to one-photon process. It is shown that in the regime of low magnetic fields and temperatures the PA phonons dominate the magneto-optical absorption coefficient and half-width at half-maximum (HWHM). This finding would be useful to examine in subsequent research about HWHM in graphene. The present results have also demonstrated that the optical properties of graphene on a GaAs substrate can be controlled via extrinsic piezoelectric coupling.
