Magnetoplasma excitations in interacting GaAs disks
We investigate the effect of inter-disk coupling on the magnetoplasmon dispersion in a square lattice of two-dimensional electron system (2DES) disks etched from a GaAs quantum well. Using magneto-optical terahertz (THz) spectroscopy, we track the evolution of the collective modes as disk lattice period is systematically reduced, thereby increasing the coupling strength. At large distances, the system exhibits magnetoplasma modes corresponding to individual excitations in disks. As the inter-disk distance decreases, we observe a modification to magnetoplasma dispersion.
