摘要:
Experimental investigation of Faraday rotation in III–V compounds has exhibited a striking singularity at photon frequencies just below the energy gap. A quantum theoretical result associated with the direct transition has been developed to explain the phenomenon. The treatment has been extended to include forbidden transitions which are readily applicable to such materials as InAs, GaAs, and GaSb where interband transitions between the split‐off valence bands have been observed. The treatment for observing Faraday rotation by reflection has also been considered and experimental results in InSb at optical frequencies will be presented. The calculations have also been performed for degenerate semiconductors at low temperature.
