摘要: Free-carrier absorption has been studied for quantum well structures fabricated from III-V semiconducting materials where the acoustic phonon scattering is important. The energy band of carriers is assumed to be nonparabolic. We discuss the effect of acoustic phonon scattering on the free-carrier absorption for both deformation-potential coupling and piezoelectric coupling. It is found that the free-carrier absorption coefficient depends upon the polarization of the electromagnetic radiation relative to the layer plane or quantum well, the photon frequency, and the temperature. When the deformation-potential coupling is dominant, the free-carrier absorption coefficient increases with increasing temperature for photons polarized in the layer plane or perpendicular to the layer plane. However, when the piezoelectric coupling is dominant, the free-carrier absorption coefficient increases with increasing temperature for photons polarized in the layer plane, but for photons polarized perpendicularly to the layer plane, the free-carrier absorption coefficient decreases with increasing temperature. Moreover, at high temperatures such as T = 300 K, the free-carrier absorption coefficient oscillates with the film thickness in a small quantum well region and then decreases monotonically with increasing the film thickness. This is different from the result for three-dimensional semiconducting solids.
