Electron localization in sound absorption oscillations in the quantum Hall effect regime

The absorption coefficient for surface acoustic waves in a piezoelectric insulator in contact with a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure (with two-dimensional electron mobility $μ= 1.3\times 10^5 cm^2/V\cdot s)$ at T=4.2K) via a small gap has been investigated experimentally as a function of the frequency of the wave, the width of the vacuum gap, the magnetic field, and the temperature. The magnetic field and frequency dependencies of the high-frequency conductivity (in the region 30-210 MHz) are calculated and analyzed. The experimental results can be explained if it assumed that there exists a fluctuation potential in which current carrier localization occurs. The absorption of the surface acoustic waves in an interaction with two-dimensional electrons localized in the energy "tails" of Landau levels is discussed.

Heating of a two-dimensional electron gas by the electric field of a surface acoustic wave

The heating of a two-dimensional electron gas by an rf electric field generated by a surface acoustic wave, which can be described by an electron temperature $T_e$, has been investigated. It is shown that the energy balance of the electron gas is determined by electron scattering by the piezoelectric potential of the acoustic phonons with $T_e$ determined from measurements at frequencies $f$= 30 and 150 MHz. The experimental curves of the energy loss $Q$ versus $T_e$ at different SAW frequencies depend on the value of $ω\barτ_ε$, compared to 1, where $ \bar τ_ε$ is the relaxation time of the average electron energy. Theoretical calculations of the heating of a two-dimensional electron gas by the electric field of the surface acoustic wave are presented for the case of thermal electrons ($ΔT \ll T$). The calculations show that for the same energy losses $Q$ the degree of heating of the two-dimensional electrons (i.e., the ratio $T_e/T$) for $ω\barτ_ε>1$ ($f$= 150 MHz) is less than for $ω\barτ_ε<1$ ($f$=30 MHz). Experimental results confirming this calculation are presented.

The nonlinear effects in 2DEG conductivity investigation by an acoustic method

The parameters of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure were determined by an acoustical (contactless) method in the delocalized electrons region ($B\le$2.5T). Nonlinear effects in Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) absorption by 2DEG are determined by the electron heating in the electric field of SAW, which may be described in terms of electron temperature $T_e$. The energy relaxation time $τ_ε$ is determined by the scattering at piezoelectric potential of acoustic phonons with strong screening. At different SAW frequencies the heating depends on the relationship between $ωτ_ε$ and 1 and is determined either by the instantaneously changing wave field ($ωτ_ε$$<1$), or by the average wave power ($ωτ_ε$$>1$).
