Abstract:
Devoted to the choice of the optimal quantum well band gap for the generation of two-dimensional plasmon-phonons in CdHgTe/HgTe heterostructures. It is shown that the optimal effective band gap is a band gap that slightly exceeds the energy of a longitudinal optical phonon in the barrier.
Keywords:CdHgTe/HgTe heterostructures with quantum wells, generation of two-dimensional plasmon-phonons, optimal width of band gap.
