Abstract

An analysis is made of the influence of the spatial dispersion of LO phonons and the exciton effect on the energy spectrum of magnetopolarons in a quantum well. It is shown that in optical experiments where light is incident normally on the plane of the quantum well, a discrete spectrum of magnetopolarons is observed. Both the phonon dispersion and the Coulomb attraction of an electron and a hole may lead to a shift of the discrete magnetopolaron energy levels and additional contributions to the broadening of various levels.
