Light absorption by free charge carriers in the presence of phonons in an anisotropic quantum wire

Abstract

The absorption of light by free charge carriers has been theoretically studied considering the processes related to scattering from phonons in an anisotropic parabolic quantum wire. The case in which the electromagnetic wave is polarized along the axis of the wire and the case of non-degenerate electron gas statistics have been considered. In this work, it was determined that the dependence of the location of the peaks of the intraband optical absorption coefficient on the characteristic frequency of the confinement potential in quantum wires with asymmetric parabolic potential was .
