Oscillatory photoresistance on the high field side of the cyclotron resonance
Abstract
We consider the displacement contribution to photoresistance in overlapping Landau levels at radiation frequencies much smaller than the cyclotron frequency. We show that in the limit of short-range disorder and high radiation power, this contribution leads to a new class of magneto-resistance oscillations. These oscillations, which we call radiowave-induced resistance oscillations (RIROs), are distinct from the well known microwave-induced resistance oscillations in the following aspects: (i) their amplitude is independent of power, (ii) their period is controlled by the radiation electric field, rather than by the radiation frequency, and (iii) they can be either 1/B or 1/B2-periodic, depending on B, with the crossover point linked to the width of the cyclotron resonance absorption curve. We also show that RIROs should be readily observed in experiments.
