Abstract:
Counteracting electron-phonon and electron-electron interaction in the optical absorption spectra of a quantum well intersubband system can have a significant impact on the line shape and line width of optical transitions at low temperatures. In particular, polaronic repellons can be formed due to an attractive intersubband polaron-polaron interaction. At low temperatures and for properly chosen densities; this effect can lead to a line broadening of the intersubband transition, even in a weak coupling regime.

Band Formation:
When atoms are brought close together, as in a solid, these discrete energy levels begin to split due to the overlap of electron orbitals from adjacent atoms. This split occurs because of the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two...
