Description
The possible mismatch between the theoretical and experimental absorption of the edge peaks in semiconductors in a magnetic field background may arise due to the approximation scheme used to analytically calculate the absorption coefficient. As a possible remedy we suggest to consider nontrivial boundary conditions on x-y plane by in-equivalently quantizing the exciton in background magnetic field. This inequivalent quantization is based on von Neumann's method of self-adjoint extension, which is characterized by a parameter Σ. We obtain bound state solution and scattering state solution, which in general depend upon the self-adjoint extension parameter Σ. The parameter Σcan be used to fine tune the optical absorption coefficient K(Σ) to match with the experiment.
