Cyclotron resonance (CR) is considered one of the fundamental phenomena in conducting systems. In this paper, we study CR a gated two-dimensional (2D) electron system (ES). Namely, analyze absorption electromagnetic radiation incident normal to 2DES, where standard dielectric substrate separates 2D sheet and metallic steering electrode ("gate"); whole placed perpendicular magnetic field. Our an...

Accuracy of the electron's atomic mass has been improved tenfold by comparing cyclotron frequencies of electrons and single C + ions alternately confined to the same uniform magnetic field in a Penning trap. Cyclotron resonances are observed via frequency shifts in the particle's continuously monitored harmonic motion parallel to the field. Field instability and relativity cause, respectively, ...

Mechanisms for the deposition of heat in the lower coronal plasma are discussed, emphasizing recent attempts to reconcile the uid and kinetic perspectives. Structures at the MHD scales are believed to act as reservoirs for uctuation energy, which in turn drive a nonlinear cascade process. Kinetic processes act at smaller spatial scales and more rapid time scales. Cascade-driven processes are co...

Mode converted ion cyclotron wave (ICW) has been observed with phase contrast imaging (PCI) in D-'He plasmas in Alcator C-Mod [1,2]. The measurements were carried out with the optical heterodyne technique using acousto-optic modulators which modulate the C02 laser beam intensity near the ion cyclotron frequency [3]. With recently improved calibration of the PCI system using a calibrated sound w...

For designing scenarios with optimal ICRF performances in EAST tokamak plasma, the fast wave propagation and absorption should be first investigated. Here several possible Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ICRH) scenarios have been explored are minority heating of hydrogen in a deuterium plasma and mode conversion heating of He in a deuterium plasma. The TORIC code has been used to simulate the ...

We consider a two-dimensional gas of colliding charged particles confined to finite size containers of various geometries and subjected to a uniform orthogonal magnetic field. The gas spectral densities are characterized by a broad peak at the cyclotron frequency. Unlike for infinitely extended gases, where the amplitude of the cyclotron peak grows linearly with temperature, here confinement ca...

We present an interpretation of recent cyclotron resonance experiments on the two-dimensional electron gas in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures. We show that the observed dependence of the resonance spectrum on Landau level occupancy and temperature arises from the interplay of three factors: spin-splitting of the cyclotron frequency; thermal population of the two spin states; and coupling of the re...

Homogeneous laser radiation in the visible or infrared range can excite high-order subharmonics at the cyclotron frequency of free electrons in the millimeter or microwave range. This may provide coherent links between lasers and rf or microwave frequency standards. In order to divide the frequency of a CO(2) laser (lambda approximately 10 microm) by a factor of 100 down to lambda approximately...

The long spikes have been often recorded at the multiples of the electron cyclotron frequency in the ionograms of the topside sounders observed in low latitudes. There has not been sufficient explanation for the physical cause for occourrence of the long spike so far. Here, by interpreting this phenomenon as receiving the trapped cyclotron harmonic wave, some analyses for the length of spike ar...
