Abstract

We investigate a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) under microwave illumination at cyclotron resonance subharmonics. The 2DES carries sufficient direct current, II, that the differential resistivity oscillates as II is swept. At magnetic fields sufficient to resolve individual Landau levels, we find the number of oscillations within an II range systematically changes with increasing microwave power. Microwave absorption and emission of NN photons, where NN is controlled by the microwave power, describes our observations in the framework of the displacement mechanism of impurity scattering between Hall-field tilted Landau levels.
