Abstract

The influence of an external magnetic field on the optical characteristics of the exciton spectra of a semiconductor is studied. It is shown that the diamagnetic shift of the exciton level essentially changes the dynamics of the exciton absorption. The combination of the excitonic and magnetic properties of a crystal in the range of excitonic frequencies gives new opportunities to control the bistable behavior of the crystal. It is revealed that the magnetooptical response of the semiconductor to the laser field gives rise to bistable loops with respect to both the intensity of the incident light and the magnitude of the magnetic field.

Crystal optical bistability in a magnetic field

Bohdan M. Nitsovich, Claudia Yu. Zenkova, A. A. Zinchenko

The influence of an external magnetic field on optical features of semiconductor exciton spectra is researched in this work. It is shown that the magnetic field brings about the shift of the exciton level in the high-energy spectrum area. This causes the arising of a unique effect-- brightening-- of the crystal on the fixed external excitement frequency with the growth of the magnetic intensity value. The combination of electronic and magnetic characteristics of a crystal in an exciton frequency region opens new possibilities of giving control over the bistable behavior of the crystal. It is shown that the magnetic- optical response of a semiconductor on laser excitation generates bistable loops, both on the intensities of falling light (tau) (T) and in the size of the magnetic field-- (tau) (Hyields).

Magnetooptical absorption of a molecular crystal in the exciton frequency range

Oleksandr V. Derevyanchuk, K. Yu. Zenkova, Valeriy M. Kramar +1 more

Nonlinear absorption of a molecular crystal in an external magnetic field is considered. The exciton absorption shape functions under polarized laser radiation and a weak magnetic field, as well as the mechanisms responsible for the formation of a hysteresis loop in the dependence of the output light intensity on the applied magnetic field, were studied for the particular case of benzene. It was established that, for the magnetooptical response of the molecular crystal under study, the formation of bistable loops is inverse in character, which makes it possible to monitor and control the behavior of bistable elements in optical logics systems with an external magnetic field at a fixed illumination frequency.

Magnetooptical bistability of layer semiconductors in the field of exciton absorption

Claudia Yu. Zenkova, Valeriy M. Kramar, N. K. Kramar +1 more

The influence of weak external magnetic fields on the conditions of optical bistability (OB) realization in the field of exciton absorption in layer semiconductors has been investigated theoretically. Using the 2H-polytype of PbI2 as an example, it is shown that by changing the intensity of the external magnetic field it is possible to obtain the OB realization region without changing the excitation laser frequency. It is also possible to control effectively the position and size of the hysteresis absorption loop caused by the existence of several exciton zones and due to the peculiar features of the layer crystal structure.

The effect of weak external magnetic fields on the conditions for implementing optical bistability in the region of exciton absorption of layered semiconductors has been theoretically investigated. By the example of the 2 H polytype of lead diiodide, it is shown that, changing the strength of an external magnetic field, one can form conditions for implementing bistability and effectively control the position and sizes of the hysteresis loop of exciton absorption.

Dynamics of layer crystal light absorption and the formation of optical bistability

Claudia Yu. Zenkova

The impact of temperature, incident light polarization and a weak external magnetic field upon the conditions of optical bistability (OB) realization in the exciton absorption region of layer semiconductors has been investigated. With the 2Hpolytype PbI2 used as an example, the possibility of obtaining the OB realization region by changing the external factors has been shown. It has been also demonstrated that the change of these parameters can control the position and values of the absorption hysteresis loop of corresponding layer crystal excitation exciton zones.
