Abstract

An expression for the cyclotron-resonance power absorption by electrons interacting with phonons is derived with the help of a projection operator that takes into account the effects of exchange. It is shown that the correct evaluation of this expression requires the summation of an infinite number of terms in order to describe the effects of scattering to second order. These results contradict some recently proposed theories of this phenomenon, which are discussed and criticized.
