Temperature Dependence of Microwave Photoresistance in 2D Electron Systems

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2009-02-17 v2

Abstract

We report on the temperature dependence of microwave-induced resistance oscillations in high-mobility two-dimensional electron systems. We find that the oscillation amplitude decays exponentially with increasing temperature, as exp(αT2)\exp(-\alpha T^2), where α\alpha scales with the inverse magnetic field. This observation indicates that the temperature dependence originates primarily from the modification of the single particle lifetime, which we attribute to electron-electron interaction effects.
