摘要
The acoustomagnetoelectric (AME) field in a quantum well with a parabolic potential (QWPP) has been studied in the presence of an external magnetic field. The analytic expression for the AME field in the QWPP is obtained by using the quantum kinetic equation for the distribution function of electrons interacting with external phonons. The dependence of the AME field on the temperature T of the system, the wavenumber q of the acoustic wave and external magnetic field B for the specific AlAs/GaAs/AlAs is achieved by using a numerical method. The problem is considered for both cases: The weak magnetic field region and the quantized magnetic field region. The results are compared with those for normal bulk semiconductor and superlattices to show the differences, and we use the quantum theory to calculate the AME field in the QWPP.
