“…This beating leads to the additional reduction of the normalized MISO amplitude in high reciprocal fields, 1/B ⊥ : A * MISO = A MISO A B , where A MISO = 2σ (12) D /σ D is normalized Drude factor in Eq. (7). Figure 7 shows good agreement between experiment and numerical computations of the MISO amplitude at α=0 degree.…”

“…[5][6][7][8][9][10] These magneto-inter-subband oscillations (MISO) of the resistance are due to an alignment between Landau levels from different subbands i and j with corresponding energies E i and E j . Resistance maxima occur at magnetic fields at which the gap between the bottoms of subbands, ∆ ij = E i − E j , equals a multiple of the Landau level spacing,hω c : ∆ ij = k ·hω c , where k is an integer [11][12][13][14] .…”

Transport properties of highly mobile 2D electrons in symmetric GaAs quantum wells with two populated subbands placed in titled magnetic fields are studied at high temperatures. Quantum positive magnetoresistance (QPMR) and magneto-intersubbands resistance oscillations (MISO) are observed in quantizing magnetic fields, B ⊥ , applied perpendicular to the 2D layer. QPMR displays contributions from electrons with considerably different quantum lifetimes, τ (1,2) q , confirming the presence of two subbands in the studied system. MISO evolution with B ⊥ agrees with the obtained quantum scattering times only if an additional reduction of the MISO magnitude is applied at small magnetic fields. This indicates the presence of a yet unknown mechanism leading to MISO damping. Application of in-plane magnetic field produces a strong decrease of both QPMR and MISO magnitude. The reduction of QPMR is explained by spin splitting of Landau levels indicating g-factor, g ≈0.4, which is considerably less than the g-factor found in GaAs quantum well with a single subband populated. In contrast to QPMR the decrease of MISO magnitude is largely related to the in-plane magnetic field induced entanglement between quantum levels in different subbands that, in addition, increases the MISO period.

“…With increasing temperature the thermal broadening of the Fermi distribution becomes the dominant factor, limiting the amplitude of SdH oscillations. MIS oscillations are significantly less sensitive to the electron distribution and their amplitude is predominantly determined by a quantum relaxation time τ q [4,5].MIS oscillations were recently observed in GaAs double quantum wells with AlAs/GaAs superlattice barriers with roughly equal electron densities in subbands (n 1 ≈ n 2 ) [7][8][9][10]. The quantum lifetimes of the electrons in subbands was also approximately equal (τ q1 ≈ τ q2 ) [11].…”

The low-temperature(4.2 < T < 12.5 K) magnetotransport (B < 2 T) of two-dimensional electrons occupying two subbands (with energy E 1 and E 2 ) is investigated in GaAs single quantum well with AlAs/GaAs superlattice barriers. Two series of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations are found to be accompanied by magnetointersubband (MIS) oscillations, periodic in the inverse magnetic field. The period of the MIS oscillations obeys condition ∆ 12 =(E 2 −E 1 )=k · hω c , where ∆ 12 is the subband energy separation, ω c is the cyclotron frequency, and k is the positive integer. At T=4.2 K the oscillations manifest themselves up to k=100. Strong temperature suppression of the magnetointersubband oscillations is observed. We show that the suppression is a result of electron-electron scattering. Our results are in good agreement with recent experiments, indicating that the sensitivity to electron-electron interaction is the fundamental property of magnetoresistance oscillations, originating from the second-order Dingle factor.The Landau quantization in quasi-two-dimensional (2D) electron systems (with two or more occupied subbands) manifests itself in two or more sets of Landau levels. Resonance transitions of electrons between Landau levels corresponding to different two-dimensional subbands [1,2] causes the so-called magnetointersubband (MIS) oscillations of the resistance ρ xx [3][4][5]. The interaction between two subbands can be also significant for other phenomena such as cyclotron resonance [6]. The position of the maxima of the MIS oscillations obeys the condition ∆ 12 =E 2 −E 1 =k · hω c , where ∆ 12 is the intersubband energy gap, E i is the energy of the bottom of ith subband, ω c is the cyclotron frequency, and index k is the positive integer. The oscillations, similar to well-known Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations, are periodic in the inverse magnetic field and appear in classically strong magnetic fields. The amplitude of SdH oscillations is limited by the broadening of Landau levels due to scattering and by thermal broadening of the Fermi distribution. With increasing temperature the thermal broadening of the Fermi distribution becomes the dominant factor, limiting the amplitude of SdH oscillations. MIS oscillations are significantly less sensitive to the electron distribution and their amplitude is predominantly determined by a quantum relaxation time τ q [4,5].MIS oscillations were recently observed in GaAs double quantum wells with AlAs/GaAs superlattice barriers with roughly equal electron densities in subbands (n 1 ≈ n 2 ) [7][8][9][10]. The quantum lifetimes of the electrons in subbands was also approximately equal (τ q1 ≈ τ q2 ) [11]. In the general case of two populated subbands the amplitude of the MIS oscillations of the resistance ∆ρ MISO depends on the sum of the quantum scattering rates in each subband [4,5] ),where 1/τ qi and n i are the quantum scattering rate and electron density in ith subband, and m is electron band mass. Parameter ν 12 is an effective intersubband scattering rate [5].In this ...

“…As discussed numerous times [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46], the observation of electron backscattering relies on the uniformity of the electric field within the bulk of the sample. Resonant mixing of MIRO and magneto-inter-subband resistance oscillations [47][48][49][50] further proves that MIRO is a bulk phenomenon. It is obvious that Refs.…”
