Abstract

Cyclotron resonance results from GaInAs-InP heterojunctions and superlattices and GaInAs-AlInAs heterojunctions in fields up to 18 T are reported. For low frequencies, the effective mass is compared with the predictions of k · p theory, and the resonance linewidth is fitted to finite range scattering theories. At higher frequencies, the linewidth increases dramatically, while the effective mass deviates from its low-frequency value. These effects are attributed to resonant polaron coupling.
