Abstract

We analyze the effect of bichromatic microwave irradiation on the magnetoresistivity of a two dimensional electron system. We follow the model of microwave driven Larmor orbits in a regime where two different microwave lights with different frequencies are illuminating the sample (w1w_{1} and w2w_{2}). Our calculated results demonstrate that now the electronic orbit centers are driven by the superposition of two harmonic oscillatory movements with the frequencies of the microwave sources. As a result the magnetoresisitivity response presents modulated pulses in the amplitude with a frequency of w1w22\frac{w_{1}-w_{2}}{2}, whereas the main response oscillates with w1+w22\frac{w_{1}+w_{2}}{2}.
