Abstract

We report the observation of inelastic scattering of 10.6 μ radiation by collective and single-particle cyclotron excitations of mobile carriers in InAs. The observed cross sections of ∼1025 cm2 sr1 for both the plasmon and the Landau-Raman Δl=1 and Δl=2 scattering processes are in agreement with calculations. Raman scattering of light by optic phonons is found to be at least a factor of 100 weaker than the plasmon scattered light. Effects of magnetic field on plasmon scattering are also described.
