摘要
We examine the influence of an intense magnetic field on high-frequency relaxation time observed in the infrared reflectivity of n-type polar semiconductors. The transport relaxation time due to electron-ionized single impurity scattering, as well as electron-LO phonon scattering is presented using the Kubo conductivity formula as the basis, with emphasis on both the effect of magnetic field and Coulomb interaction between carriers. It is argued that the observed structure of the high-frequency relaxation time on n-PbSe can be attributed mainly to the dependence of the LO phonon-mediated absorption process on the strength of magnetic field. © 1979 The American Physical Society.
