Abstract:The components uiklrn of the photon-drag tensor are calculated within the framework of the Boltzmann equation for a model band structure with elliptical isoenergetic surfaces. Allowed direct optical t,ransitions between two para.bolic sub-valence-bands are considered. The theoretical results are applied to the photon-drag effect in tellurium. Scattering of carriers on acoustic and polar-optical phonons in the relaxat,ion time approximation is taken into account. Comparison with experimental results is made.Die… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
