description

A strongly asymmetric, Fano-like resonance profile has been found for magneto-absorption in the states of hot free electron-hole pairs scattered by defects in bulk semiconductors. The renormalization of the absorption profile, compared to that expected from the bare density of states in a high magnetic field, follows from a quasi-one-dimensional character of electronic excitations. The results are valid for absorption by the electronic states of large Landau quantum number where the Coulomb interaction should play a minor role. The resonance shape is in a good qualitattive agreement with experimental observations.
