The Elastic Constants in Opto-electronic Materials Under Terahertz Frequency

In this chapter, we study the carrier contribution to the 2nd and 3rd order elastic constants (\(\phi_{1}\) and \(\phi_{2}\)) in opto-electronic materials in terahertz frequency by taking the bulk of various opto-electronic compounds. The influence of magnetic quantization, 1D quantization and 2D quantization has also been studied in this context. It appears that both \(\phi_{1}\) and \(\phi_{2}\) changes with wave length, intensity, electron statistics, alloy composition and nano thickness in different ways for all the opto-electronic compounds as considered here and the influence of quantization of band state is also being apparent from all the figures.
