Microwave Photoconductivity in Two-Dimensional Electron Systems due to Photon-Assisted Interaction of Electrons with Leaky Interface Phonons

Abstract

We calculate the contribution of the photon-assisted interaction of electrons with leaky interface phonons to the dissipative dc photoconductivity of a two-dimensional electron system in a magnetic field. The calculated photoconductivity as a function of the frequency of microwave radiation and the magnetic field exhibits pronounced oscillations. The obtained oscillation structure is different from that in the case of photon-assisted interaction with impurities. We demonstrate that at a sufficiently strong microwave radiation in the certain ranges of its frequency (or in certain ranges of the magnetic field) this mechanism can result in the absolute negative conductivity.
