Franz-Keldysh effect in semiconductor T-wire in applied magnetic field

Abstract

We have calculated the optical absorption spectra of magnetoexcitons in T-wire semiconductor. It is calculated using the semiconductor Bloch equations in time and real-space domains. The peak and the linewitdth of the fundamental exciton transition are investigated as a function of the applied magnetic and static electric field. The latter is applied along the wire axis and induces a broadening in the absorption spectra line, energy shift, and the characterisitic Franz-Keldysh oscillations. The exciton binding energy enhances increasing the magnetic field strength.
