▎ 摘  要

We theoretically propose a structure that the population inversion between the Landau levels (LLs) of the graphene can be achieved by the electrical injection. This structure may be used for the Landau level-laser and related infrared and terahertz emitters. We mainly study the linewidth of the optical transitions between LLs in graphene due to the electron-acoustic phonon scattering. Within the Huang-Rhys's lattice relaxation model, we improve the effective single-phonon mode (ESM) for the acoustic phonon to calculate the linewidth of the optical transition and compare the obtained results with that of in the low and high-temperature limit. We find that the ESM provides a very good approximation for the temperature dependence of linewidth, which covers the dominating features of the low and high-temperature limit. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
