Remotely sensed transport in microwave photoexcited GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional electron system

Abstract

We demonstrate a strong correlation between the magnetoresistive and the concurrent microwave reflection from the microwave photo-excited GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional electron system (2DES). These correlations are followed as a function of the microwave power, the microwave frequency, and the applied current. Notably, the character of the reflection signal remains unchanged even when the current is switched off in the GaAs/AlGaAs Hall bar specimen. The results suggest a perceptible microwave-induced change in the electronic properties of the 2DES, even in the absence of an applied current.
