Mechanisms of the microwave photoconductivity in 2D electron systems with mixed disorder

Abstract

We present a systematic study of the microwave-induced oscillations in the magnetoresistance of a 2D electron gas for mixed disorder including both short-range and long-range components. The obtained photoconductivity tensor contains contributions of four distinct transport mechanisms. We show that the photoresponse depends crucially on the relative weight of the short-range component of disorder. Depending on the properties of disorder, the theory allows one to identify the temperature range within which the photoresponse is dominated by one of the mechanisms analyzed in the paper.
