MAGNETOOPTICAL EXPERIMENTS USING THE EXPLOSIVE DRIVEN FLUX COMPRESSION UP TO 1000T

摘要

We discuss three recent magnetooptical experiments using the explosive driven flux-compression technique that have been performed in cooperation of the Berlinian with the Russian group of VNIIEF, Sarov. We present an overview on the experimental techniques touching the frontiers of physics as well as a detailed discussion of the results obtained on the semiconducting materials GaN, GaAs and HgSe. Special emphasis will be laid on the interpretation in context with theoretical predictions and analysis that go beyond the ordinary k • p-formalism but are also valid in the limit of the HOFSTADTER butterfly.
