Absorption of surface acoustic waves by a two-dimensional electron gas in the presence of spin-orbit interaction
A theoretical study is presented for interactions between surface acoustic waves ~SAWs! and a two-dimensional electron gas ~2DEG! in the presence of spin-orbit ~SO! interaction ~SOI! induced by the Rashba effect. It is found that the presence of the SOI in a 2DEG can open up new channels for electronic transitions. As a result, an enhanced absorption of the SAWs by a 2DEG can be achieved throug...
متن کاملSurface acoustic-wave attenuation by a two-dimensional electron gas in a strong magnetic field.
The propagation of a surface acoustic wave (SAW) on GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures is studied in the case where the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is subject to a high magnetic field and a smooth random potential with correlation length Λ and amplitude ∆. The electron wave functions are described in a quasiclassical picture using results of percolation theory for two-dimensional systems. We ...
متن کاملScattering of Electromagnetic Waves by Electron Acoustic Waves
-It is shown that a large amplitude electromagnetic wave can parametrically excite low-frequency electrostatic modified electron acoustic waves which are unique to three-component plasmas containing ions, hot electrons and a group of cold electrons. The growth rates and thresholds of the decay instabilities are obtained. Application of our results in the auroral region of the ionosphere is illu...
متن کاملCoulomb scattering lifetime of a two-dimensional electron gas.
Motivated by a recent tunneling experiment in a double quantum-well system, which reports an anomalously enhanced electronic scattering rate in a clean two-dimensional electron gas, we calculate the inelastic quasiparticle lifetime due to electron-electron interaction in a single loop dynamically screened Coulomb interaction within the random-phase-approximation. We obtain excellent quantitativ...
متن کاملAbsolute negative resistance induced by directional electron-electron scattering in a two-dimensional electron gas.
A three-terminal device formed by two electrostatic barriers crossing an asymmetrically patterned two-dimensional electron gas displays an unusual potential depression at the middle contact, yielding absolute negative resistance. The device displays momentum and current transfer ratios that far exceed unity. The observed reversal of the current or potential in the middle terminal can be interpr...
