Dynamical screening function and plasmons in the wide HgTe quantum wells at high temperatures
Journal Title: Semiconductor Physics, Quantum Electronics and Optoelectronics - Year 2018, Vol 21, Issue 2
Abstract
The dynamical screening function of two-dimensional electron gas in a wide HgTe quantum well (QW) has been numerically modeled in this work. Calculations were performed in the Random Phase Approximation (RPA) framework and were based on the Lindhard equation. Our simulations directly incorporated non-parabolicity of bulk 2D carriers’ spectrum, which was obtained by full 8-band k.p method. Known from literature are the data that transport properties of HgTe QWs can be explained by graphene-like screening. We carried out the comparison of the screening function for the Schrödinger fermions in the inverted bands HgTe QW with the appropriate screening function for graphene monolayer with the Dirac fermions. In addition, the dependences of HgTe-specific screening function on temperature, scattering wave-vector and frequency have been studied with the purpose to ascertain the transport properties under high frequency radiation for the QW structures to be used as THz detectors. Plasmon frequencies of 2DEG in HgTe quantum well under study were calculated in the long-wave limit for T = 77 K.
