Theory of the microwave induced zero resistance states in two-dimensional electron systems — •Sergey Mikhailov — Institute of Physics, University of Augsburg, D-86135 Augsburg, Germany

The microwave induced zero resistance states [1] and microwave induced resistance oscillations [2] were discovered in the very-high-electron-mobility GaAs/AlGaAs quantum-well systems about ten years ago but have not been understood so far. We show [3] that this phenomenon is explained by the influence of the nonlinear ponderomotive forces which arise in the near-contact regions of the two-dimensional electron gas under the action of microwaves. The theory [3] agrees with all accumulated experimental facts and provides a simple and natural explanation of the frequency, polarization, magnetic field, mobility, power and temperature dependencies of the observed effects.
