Abstract

We present calculations of hole Landau levels, cyclotron masses, and far-infrared spectra for strained asymmetric p-type Ge-Si$_{x}$Ge$_{1-x}$ quantum wells in a perpendicular magnetic field in order to interpret recent experimental results by Engelhardt et al. [Solid State Electron. 37, 949 (1994)]. Self-consistent hole subband calculations are combined with calculations of the Landau levels ...

We present calculations of hole Landau levels, cyclotron masses, and far-infrared spectra for strained asymmetric p-type Ge-Si$_{x}$Ge$_{1-x}$ quantum wells in a perpendicular magnetic field in order to interpret recent experimental results by Engelhardt et al. [Solid State Electron. 37, 949 (1994)]. Self-consistent hole subband calculations are combined with calculations of the Landau levels using a 6 x 6 {\bf k·p} Hamiltonian for the topmost $\Gamma$$_{8}$ and $\Gamma$$_{7}$ bulk valence bands. Our results are in very good agreement with the experimental data. Taking into account the coupling to the split-off band turns out to be important. The complex spectra of hole Landau levels in strained quantum wells remind one of the well known quantum resonance spectra of bulk {\it p}-type Ge under uniaxial stress.
