Abstract

We report on the observation of the magneto-photogalvanic effect (MPGE) due to inter-subband transitions in (001)-oriented GaAs quantum wells. This effect is related to the gyrotropic properties of the structures. It is shown that inter-subband absorption of linearly polarized radiation may lead to spin-related as well as spin-independent photocurrents if an external magnetic field is applied in ...
