Abstract
Backward-wave tubes are used to study the spectra of cyclotron resonance in the range of 150-700 GHz in the AlSb/InAs/AlSb heterostructures with quantum wells and with an electron concentration in a two-dimensional electron gas ranging from 2.7 × 1011 to 8 × 1012 cm 2 at 4.2 K. A significant increase in the cyclotron mass (from 0.03m0 to 0.06m0) is observed as the electron concentration (and, correspondingly, the Fermi energy) increases, which is typical of semiconductors with a nonparabolic dispersion relation. The results obtained are in satisfactory agreement with theoretical calculations of cyclotron masses at the Fermi level in the context of the simplified Kane model.
