Two-photon magnetoabsorption of ZnTe, CdTe, and GaAs
Abstract
Two-photon magnetoabsorption measurements of 2P excitons in ZnTe, CdTe, and GaAs are presented. The measurements are carried out in Faraday (kB) and Voigt (kB) configuration in fields up to 7 T. Besides a Zeeman splitting and a diamagnetic shift, a drastic enhancement of the two-photon oscillator strength is detected. This enhancement is due to the magnetic-field-induced compression of the wave function. The energies and the wave functions are calculated with use of an effective-mass Hamiltonian which includes the degeneracy of the valence band. From a fit of the calculated eigenvalues to the experimental results all relevant mass parameters and g values (me*, 1, 2, 3, gc, q) are deduced. The large number of magnetic components allows a consistent and precise determination of all relevant parameters. © 1988 The American Physical Society.
