Article Description

We set up a theory of magnetomagnon resonances in diluted magnetic semiconductor quantum wires in the case of electron-magnon scattering. The magnetoconductivity xx is calculated using the usual Kubo formula. We found that for a nondegenerate statistics of quasi-one-dimensional electron gas xx shows oscillatory behavior characteristic of structures presenting manifestations of the size quantization effect in the presence of a quantizing magnetic field. Moreover, magnetomagnon resonances are predicted in the xx behavior as function of the electron cyclotron frequency. Another contribution to the conductivity pc, which is caused by the current carried by electron motion affected by the confinement potential, is calculated. As the confinement potential increases, for a fixed magnetic field value, pc decreases steeply similar to the case of GaAs quantum wires. For typical parameters of a Ga1-x Mnx As quantum wire we find xx = 10-9 S for a magnetic field of 10 T and temperature T=20 K. This magnon effect is two orders of magnitude greater than the magnetoconductivity due to phonons as reported in the literature thereby implying that in diluted magnetic semiconductor Ga1-x Mnx As quantum wires the exchange interaction is the main electron interaction channel. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.
