Kinetics of 2D electrons in the magnetic field in the presence of microwave radiation. Response of a non-equilibrium system to a weak measurement field

Abstract

Kinetics of spatially uniform distribution of 2D electrons in crossed electric and magnetic fields in the presence of microwave radiation has been studied. In the present model the contribution from the microwave radiation and the effects of Landau quantization are considered exactly, while scattering is treated perturbatively. Here Landau--Floquet states interact with the impurity potential that causes transitions between them. The linear response of a non-equilibrium system to a weak measurement field has been considered for the case when the non-equilibrium state of the carriers can be described by the average values of the total energy and the number of particles.
