Background. Photon entrainment effect bears valuable information about the band structure and mechanisms of charge carrier pulse relaxation in semiconductor low-dimensional systems. From the viewpoint of device application, this effect may be used to create laser radiation detectors based on nanostructures that provide wide control capabilities over both band spectrum and impurity states (localized and resonant). The purpose of this paper is a theoretical study of the peculiarities of the effect of photon entrainment of electrons connected with the presence of an impurity band formed by resonant electron states in the field of a regular chain of D⁰-centers in a quantum wire in the presence of an external longitudinal magnetic field.
Materials and methods. The curves of the spectral dependence of the photon entrainment current density in a quantum wire with a regular chain of D0-centers in an external magnetic field are plotted for the case of an InSb quantum wire. To calculate the cur-rent density the method the Boltzmann kinetic equation was used.
Results. It is shown that with a period decrease in the regular chain of D⁰-centers in a quantum wire the threshold of photon entrainment effect is shifted to long-wavelength spectrum part due to the growth of the effective electron mass in the impurity band. At the same time the frequency and amplitude of the oscillations of interference nature increases in the spectral dependence of the photon entrainment current density. It is found out that with the increase of external magnetic field oscillations are suppressed due to the impurity band width reduction. It is shown that the dissipative tunneling parameters have a significant impact on the threshold of the photon entrainment effect in a quantum wire. A quantum wire with resonant electron states which is related by tunnels to a bulk semiconductor possesses additional degrees of freedom to control the effect of photon entrainment by varying the dissipative tunneling parameters.
