Cyclotron resonance (CR) and quantum transport measurements are performed on three GaAs/Ga 0.67 Al 0.33 As heterostructures in the quantum Hall regime at T = 2 K. The relaxation time and the 2D electron density N s are determined fitting the CR transmission curves by the Drude-type model. In all samples the density N s exhibits oscillations as a function of magnetic field. The dc quantum transport is also studied on the same structures and, assuming that the Hall resistance determines the electron density at all fields, one obtains density oscillations similar to those measured by CR. This density behaviour is modelled using a reservoir hypothesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
