Abstract: | Microscopic mechanisms of inelastic light scattering in an interacting electron plasma in semiconductor heterostructures are
considered. In the dipole limit, the cross section consists of two main contributions: the first is related to a disorder-induced
mechanism and the second arises from the Coulomb interaction. The spectra of disorder-induced light scattering are described
in terms of correlation functions of a random potential. The spectrum induced by the Coulomb interaction arises from two-quasiparticle
excitations. The mechanisms which are studied in this paper result in the appearance of large wave vector excitations in the
spectra of resonant light scattering. These results can be used to model the experimentally observed appearance of the roton
density of states in light scattering spectra in the integer quantum Hall regime of a two-dimensional system. Furthermore,
we show that the lineshape of spectra strongly depends on the character of disorder and, in particular, on the spatial positions
of impurities with respect to a quantum well.
