We report on Hall field-induced resistance oscillations (HIRO) in a 60 nm-wide GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well with an emph{in situ} grown back gate, which allows tuning the carrier density $n$. At low $n$, when all electrons are confined to the lowest subband (SB1), the HIRO frequency, proportional to the product of the cyclotron diameter and the Hall field, scales with $n^{-1/2}$, as expected. Remarkably, population of the second subband (SB2) significantly enhances HIRO, while their frequency now scales as $n^{-1}$. We demonstrate that in this two-subband regime HIRO still originate solely from backscattering of SB1 electrons. The unusual density dependence occurs because the population of SB2 steadily increases, while that of SB1 remains essentially unchanged. The enhancement of HIRO manifests an unexpected, step-like increase of the quantum lifetime of SB1 electrons, which reaches a record value of 52 ps in the two-subband regime.

We report on microwave-induced resistance oscillations (MIROs) in a tunable-density 30-nm-wide GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well. We find that the MIRO amplitude increases dramatically with carrier density. Our analysis shows that the anticipated increase in the effective microwave power and quantum lifetime with density is not sufficient to explain the observed growth of the amplitude. We further observe that the fundamental oscillation extrema move towards cyclotron resonance with increasing density, which also contradicts theoretical predictions. These findings reveal that the density dependence is not properly captured by existing theories, calling for further studies.
The magnetotransport of highly mobile 2D electrons in wide GaAs single quantum wells with three populated subbands placed in titled magnetic fields is studied. The bottoms of the lower two subbands have nearly the same energy while the bottom of the third subband has a much higher energy ($E_1approx E_2<<E_3$). At zero in-plane magnetic fields magneto-intersubband oscillations (MISO) between the $i^{th}$ and $j^{th}$ subbands are observed and obey the relation $Delta_{ij}=E_j-E_i=kcdothbaromega_c$, where $omega_c$ is the cyclotron frequency and $k$ is an integer. An application of in-plane magnetic field produces dramatic changes in MISO and the corresponding electron spectrum. Three regimes are identified. At $hbaromega_c ll Delta_{12}$ the in-plane magnetic field increases considerably the gap $Delta_{12}$, which is consistent with the semi-classical regime of electron propagation. In contrast at strong magnetic fields $hbaromega_c gg Delta_{12}$ relatively weak oscillating variations of the electron spectrum with the in-plane magnetic field are observed. At $hbaromega_c approx Delta_{12}$ the electron spectrum undergoes a transition between these two regimes through magnetic breakdown. In this transition regime MISO with odd quantum number $k$ terminate, while MISO corresponding to even $k$ evolve $continuously$ into the high field regime corresponding to $hbaromega_c gg Delta_{12}$

We report on the stability of the quantum Hall plateau in wide Hall bars made from a chemically gated graphene film grown on SiC. The $ u=2$ quantized plateau appears from fields $B simeq 5$ T and persists up to $B simeq 80$ T. At high current densit y, in the breakdown regime, the longitudinal resistance oscillates with a $1/B$ periodicity and an anomalous phase, which we relate to the presence of additional electron reservoirs. The high field experimental data suggest that these reservoirs induce a continuous increase of the carrier density up to the highest available magnetic field, thus enlarging the quantum plateaus. These in-plane inhomogeneities, in the form of high carrier density graphene pockets, modulate the quantum Hall effect breakdown and decrease the breakdown current.

We report on quantum Hall stripes (QHSs) formed in higher Landau levels of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells with high carrier density ($n_e > 4 times 10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$) which is expected to favor QHS orientation along unconventional $left < 1bar{1}0 right >$ crystal axis and along the in-plane magnetic field $B_{||}$. Surprisingly, we find that at $B_{||} = 0$ QHSs in our samples are aligned along $left < 110 right >$ direction and can be reoriented only perpendicular to $B_{||}$. These findings suggest that high density alone is not a decisive factor for either abnormal native QHS orientation or alignment with respect to $B_{||}$, while quantum confinement of the 2DEG likely plays an important role.

We develop a systematic theory of microwave-induced oscillations in magnetoresistivity of a 2D electron gas in the vicinity of fractional harmonics of the cyclotron resonance, observed in recent experiments. We show that in the limit of well-separate d Landau levels the effect is dominated by the multiphoton inelastic mechanism. At moderate magnetic field, two single-photon mechanisms become important. One of them is due to resonant series of multiple single-photon transitions, while the other originates from microwave-induced sidebands in the density of states of disorder-broadened Landau levels.
