Magneto-polariton: Strong tilted magnetic field applied on confined electron gas in a wide Ga1−xAlxAs quantum well.

The coupling of an electron gas confined by a harmonic potential and submitted to a strong magnetic field tilted in relation to the confining direction creates an excitation called here magneto-polariton. This work describes the origin of this excitation and calculates the energy eigenvalues for different tilted angles. It presents the reasons leading to the crossings and repulsions of the energy bands, the degeneracy of the states, the way the Fermi levels change with the magnetic field, the influence of an external electric field, and how the Hall resistance plateaus change with the change in the tilted angle.
