Two Dimensional Materials

This chapter shows how to calculate the absorption coefficient, optical gain, and radiative recombination rates in quantum wells and superlattices. A detailed treatment of both interband and intersubband transitions is presented, and their differences and similarities are considered in detail. The optical properties of wurtzite quantum wells and zinc-blende quantum wires and dots are also discussed. Finally, the interaction of excitonic transitions with incident light in quantum wells is considered as a model for other two-dimensional materials.

The Magnetic Field

The intersubband transitions and impurity binding energy in differently shaped semiconductor quantum wells under a magnetic field are calculated using a variational method within the effective mass approximation. Our calculations have revealed the dependence of the intersubband transitions and impurity binding energy on the magnetic field strength and the shape of the quantum wells.
