Spin-Phonon Magnetic Resonance of Conduction Electrons in Indium Antimonide Crystals

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

Resonance absorption of radio waves (with a frequency of 10 MHz) by c-band electrons in indium antimonide crystals doped with hydrogen-like donors (tellurium atoms) at room temperature in an external magnetic field is theoretically studied. Known experimental data obtained for samples with electron concentrations in the range from 6∙1015 to 5∙1018 cm–3 are analyzed and interpreted. Resonant absorption of radio waves by n-InSb:Te crystals in a magnetic field is calculated to be due to spin-phonon resonance based on the law of conservation of energy and the quasi-wave vector for electrons and optical phonons. The resonance arises as a result of a spin-flip interaction of a c-band electron with an optical phonon, which is assisted by resonant absorption of radio waves in a magnetic field. A physical picture of the phenomenon is given. Analytical relations are presented. Calculations are carried out and are consistent with experimental data that could not previously be interpreted at all.
