Abstract
We report calculations and measurements of the interband absorption of a semiconductor superlattice subjected to electric and magnetic fields applied parallel to the growth axis. These fields effectively change the dimensionality of the carrier motion from three dimensional (B=F=0) to zero dimensional (strong F and B) and considerably affect the optical absorption. Excitonic effects are observed and semiquantitatively interpreted.Keywords
