The paper theoretically investigates the photogalvanic effect in optic transitions between spin subzones of Landau levels within an ultraquantum limit. A geometry is considered when polarization is perpendicular and the electric current is directed along the magnetic field. The effect is caused by cubic terms in the Hamiltonian function, which exist due to the absence of an inversion center. The considered magnetic field relation is of resonance character, the said relation having both odd and even field contributions. Such an effect character is related to the resonance in the intermediate state and interference of second order transition amplitudes in relativistic contributions in the Hamiltonian function.
Key words: photogalvanic effect, optic transitions, magnetic field, inversion center, polarization, relativistic contributions, Hamiltonian function, resonance.
