Abstract

Far-infrared magneto-transmission, magneto-transport and magneto-photoluminescence (PL) measurements have been carried out at low temperatures and high magnetic fields on a high electron density modulation-doped GaAs/AlGaAs multiple-quantum-well sample. Two and three electron cyclotron resonance (CR) lines were clearly resolved in the magnetic field ranges 6.5-8.5 T and 13-15 T, respectively. The main features of this multi-line structure and its evolution with magnetic field can be qualitatively understood from a model that accounts for self-consistent band bending (at B = 0), occupancy of Landau levels (LLs) in two subbands, and conduction-band non-parabolicity. Quantitative agreement will require incorporation of self-consistency in the presence of the magnetic field and electron-electron interactions.
