Resonant Correlation-Induced Optical Bistability in an Electron System on Liquid Helium
arXiv:0906.5483 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.103.096801
Abstract
We show that electrons on liquid helium display intrinsic bistability of resonant inter-subband absorption. The bistability occurs for comparatively weak microwave power. The underlying giant nonlinearity of the many-electron response results from the interplay of the strong short-range electron correlations, the long relaxation time, and the multi-subband character of the electron energy spectrum.
