Using very-high mobility GaAs/AlGaAs 2D electron Hall bar samples, we have experimentally studied the photoresistance/photovoltaic oscillations induced by microwave irradiation in the regime where both 1/B and B-periodic oscillations can be observed. In the frequency range between 27 and 130 GHz we found that these two types of oscillations are decoupled from each other, consistent with the respective models that 1/B oscillations occur in bulk while the B-oscillations occur along the edges of the Hall bars. In contrast to the original report of this phenomenon (Ref. 1) the periodicity of the B-oscillations in our samples are found to be independent of L, the length of the Hall bar section between voltage measuring leads.

We study the magnetoresistance, deltarho_{xx}(B)/rho_0, of a high-mobility 2D electron gas in the domain of magnetic fields, B, intermediate between the weak localization and the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, where deltarho_{xx}(B)/rho_0 is governed by the interaction effects. Assuming short-range impurity scattering, we demonstrate that in the {em second order} in the interaction parameter, $lambda$, a {em linear} B-dependence, deltarho_{xx}(B)/rho_0sim lambda^2omega_c/E_F with {em temperature-independent} slope emerges in this domain of B (here omega_c and E_F are the cyclotron frequency and the Fermi energy, respectively). Unlike previous mechanisms, the linear magnetoresistance is {em unrelated} to the electron executing the full Larmour circle, but rather originates from the impurity scattering via the B-dependence of the {em phase} of the impurity-induced Friedel oscillations.
Electron-electron interactions give rise to the correction, deltasigma^{int}(omega), to the ac magnetoconductivity, sigma(omega), of a clean 2D electron gas that is periodic in omega_c^{-1}, where omega_c is the cyclotron frequency. Unlike conventional harmonics of the cyclotron resonance, which are periodic with omega, this correction is periodic with omega^{3/2}. Oscillations in deltasigma^{int}(omega) develop at low magnetic fields, omega_cllomega, when the conventional harmonics are suppressed by the disorder. Their origin is a {em double} backscattering of an electron from the impurity-induced Friedel oscillations. During the time simomega^{-1} between the two backscattering events the electron travels only a {em small portion} of the Larmour circle.
The frequency dependence of microwave-induced resistance oscillations (MIROs) has been studied experimentally in high-mobility electron GaAs/AlGaAs structures to explore the limits at which these oscillations can be observed. It is found that in dc transport experiments at frequencies above 120 GHz, MIROs start to quench, while above 230 GHz, they completely disappear. The results will need to be understood theoretically but are qualitatively discussed within a model in which forced electronic charge oscillations (plasmons) play an intermediate role in the interaction process between the radiation and the single-particle electron excitations between Landau levels.
In a high mobility two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well we observe a strong magnetoresistance. In lowering the electron density the magnetoresistance gets more pronounced and reaches values of more than 300%. We observe that the huge magnetoresistance vanishes for increasing the temperature. An additional density dependent factor is introduced to be able to fit the parabolic magnetoresistance to the electron-electron interaction correction.
We report on the experimental observation of the quantum oscillations in microwave magnetoabsorption of a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas induced by Landau quantization. Using original resonance-cavity technique, we observe two kinds of oscillations in the magnetoabsorption originating from inter-Landau-level and intra-Landau-level transitions. The experimental observations are in full accordance with theoretical predictions. Presented theory also explains why similar quantum oscillations are not observed in transmission and reflection experiments on high-mobility structures despite of very strong effect of microwaves on the dc resistance in the same samples.
