Abstract

It is shown that in the presence of a static magnetic field, the electronic states in the effective-mass approximation are described by a Hamiltonian containing a nonlocal potential. In order to preserve the gauge invariance of the transition rates, the interaction between the electrons and the radiation has to be modified. For ZnS, the transition rate between two particular levels is evaluated by showing a difference of more than one order of magnitude when compared with the transition rate previously calculated.
