Abstract
The frequency dependence of microwave-induced resistance oscillations (MIROs) has been studied experimentally in high-mobility electron structures to explore the limits at which these oscillations can be observed. It is found that in dc transport experiments at frequencies above , MIROs start to quench, while above , they completely disappear. The results will need to be understood theoretically but are qualitatively discussed within a model in which forced electronic charge oscillations (plasmons) play an intermediate role in the interaction process between the radiation and the single-particle electron excitations between Landau levels.
