Abstract:
We report on 1/B-periodic magnetoresistance oscillations in a
two-dimensional electron system induced by microwave
irradiation. They are only present in high mobility samples
when an initial light pulse has created a persistent
photoconductive channel in the adjacent donor layer. The
oscillations manifest a geometric commensurability between the
electron cyclotron orbit and a steady-state periodic density
modulation. The latter may originate from the non-linear
dynamical screening of a surface acoustic wave potential in the
persistent photoconductive channel, triggered by the incident
monochromatic microwave.
