Abstract

High frequency (hf) conductivity in the form σhf=σ1hfiσ2hf\sigma^{hf} = \sigma_1^{hf} - i\sigma_2^{hf} was obtained from the measurement of Surface Acoustic Waves (SAW) attenuation and velocity (f=30 MHz) in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures (n=1.371011cm2n=1.3-7\cdot 10^{11}cm^{-2}). It has been shown that in the Integer Quantum Hall Effect (IQHE) regime for all the samples at magnetic fields corresponding to the middle of the Hall plateaus and T=1.5 K, σ1/σ2=0.14±0.03\sigma_1 / \sigma_2 =0.14 \pm 0.03. The ratio σ1/σ2=0.15\sigma_1 / \sigma_2=0.15 points the case when the high-frequency hopping conductivity mechanism (electronic transition between the localized states formed by "tight" pairs) is valid \cite{1}. Dependencies of σ1\sigma_1 and σ2\sigma_2 on temperature and magnetic field is analyzed width of the Landau band broadened by the impurity random potential is determined.
