We perform a direct study of the magnitude of the anomalous splitting in the cyclotron resonance (CR) of a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) as a function of sample disorder. In a series of AlGaAs/GaAs quantum wells, identical except for a range of carbon doping in the well, we find the CR splitting to vanish at high sample mobilities but to increase dramatically with increasing impurity density and electron scattering rates. This observation lends strong support to the conjecture that the non-zero wavevector, roton-like minimum in the dispersion of 2D magnetoplasmons comes into resonance with the CR, with the two modes being coupled via disorder.

It is established that cyclotron resonance (CR) in a high-quality GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional electron system (2DES) originates as a textit{pure} resonance, that does not hybridize with dimensional magnetoplasma excitations. The magnetoplasma resonan ces form a fine structure of the CR. The observed fine structure of the CR results from the interplay between coherent radiative and incoherent collisional mechanisms of 2D plasma relaxation. We show that the range of 2DES filling factors from which the phenomenon arises is intimately connected to the fundamental fine-structure constant.
Resonant microwave absorption of a two-dimensional electron system in an AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure excited by a near-field technique was investigated. Along with collective magnetoplasmon modes, we observed resonance that precisely follows the cycl otron resonance (CR) position and revealed no signs of collective plasma depolarization shift. We show that the discovered CR mode is absent in the Faraday geometry, and is localized at the edge of the exciting metal electrode. Such behavior points in favor of the single-particle Azbel-Kaner nature of the discovered resonance.
Terahertz spectroscopy experiments at magnetic fields and low temperatures were carried out on samples of different gate shapes processed on a high electron mobility GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. For a given radiation frequency, multiple magnetoplasmo n resonances were observed with a dispersion relation described within a local approximation of the magnetoconductivity tensor. The second harmonic of the cyclotron resonance was observed and its appearance was interpreted as resulting from a high frequency, inhomogeneous electromagnetic field on the border of a two-dimensional electron gas with a metallic gate and/or an ohmic contact.
We report an observation of magnetooscillations of the microwave power transmitted through the high mobility two-dimensional electron system hosted by a GaAs quantum well. The oscillations reflect an enhanced absorption of radiation at high harmonics of the cyclotron resonance and follow simultaneously measured microwave-induced resistance oscillations (MIRO) in the dc transport. While the relative amplitude (up to 1%) of the transmittance oscillations appears to be small, they represent a significant (>50%) modulation of the absorption coefficient. The analysis of obtained results demonstrates that the low-B decay, magnitude, and polarization dependence of the transmittance oscillations accurately follow the theory describing photon-assisted scattering between distant disorder-broadened Landau levels. The extracted sample parameters reasonably well describe the concurrently measured MIRO. Our results provide an insight into the MIRO polarization immunity problem and pave the way to probe diverse high-frequency transport properties of high-mobility systems using precise transmission measurements.
Semiconductor holes with strong spin-orbit coupling allow all-electrical spin control, with broad applications ranging from spintronics to quantum computation. Using a two-dimensional hole system in a GaAs quantum well, we demonstrate a new mechanism of electrically controlling the Zeeman splitting, which is achieved through altering the hole wave vector $k$. We find a threefold enhancement of the in-plane $g-$factor $g_{parallel}(k)$. We introduce a new method for quantifying the Zeeman splitting from magnetoresistance measurements, since the conventional tilted field approach fails for two-dimensional systems with strong spin-orbit coupling. Finally, we show that the Rashba spin-orbit interaction suppresses the in-plane Zeeman interaction at low magnetic fields. The ability to control the Zeeman splitting with electric fields opens up new possibilities for future quantum spin-based devices, manipulating non-Abelian geometric phases, and realising Majorana systems in $p-$type superconductor systems.
