Quenching of the giant off-resonance magnetoresistance spike mediated by an in-plane magnetic field in irradiated 2D-electron systems

We report on theoretical studies of the influence of an in-plane magnetic field on the recently discovered strong radiation-induced magnetoresistance spike obtained in ultraclean two-dimensional electron systems. The most striking feature of this spike is that it shows up on the second harmonic of the cyclotron resonance. According to experiments, the effect of an in-plane magnetic field is to reduced dramatically the intensity of both, radiation-induced resistant spike and oscillations. We apply the radiation-driven electron orbits model in the ultraclean scenario. We are able to explain with the same physical mechanism the whole experimental response (spike and resistance oscillations). Accordingly, the increasing disorder in the sample caused by the in-planed magnetic field would be responsible of the quenching. Calculated results are in good agreement with experiments.     

Enhancement of Smith—Purcell radiation with surface-plasmon excitation

With the aid of a three-dimensional particle-in-cell code simulation,the enhancement of Smith-Purcell radiation with a surface-plasmon mode excited by a single electron bunch and by a premodulated electron beam is considered in the paper.In the simulation,the model is a grating covered by Ag film.The results demonstrate that when the surface-plasmon mode is excited by a single electron bunch,the maximum radiation occurs at an observation angle depending on the surface-plasmon frequency,and the radiation power can be enhanced more than ten times.And for pre-bunched electron beam excitation,when one of the harmonics of the bunching frequency is resonant with that of the surface-plasmon mode,the radiation power is twenty times more than that from a perfectly conducting grating excited by the same premodulated electron beam.     

Crossover from dilute to majority spin freezing in two leg ladder system Sr(Cu,Zn)2O3

The two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in moderate magnetic fields in ultraclean AlAs-GaAs heterojunctions exhibits transport anomalies suggestive of a compressible anisotropic metallic state. Using scaling arguments and Monte Carlo simulations, we develop an order parameter theory of an electron nematic phase. The observed temperature dependence of the resistivity anisotropy behaves like the orientational order parameter if the transition to the nematic state occurs at a finite temperature T(c) approximately 65 mK, and is slightly rounded by a small background microscopic anisotropy. We propose a light scattering experiment to measure the critical susceptibility.     

微机电系统红外脉冲光源调制特性的研究

针对微机电系统热激发红外光源的动态特性,采用一种新的计算方法。即通过建立光源在不同初始温度下升温与加电时间、功率之间的关系,定量估算不同脉冲频率下辐射功率的调制深度。该方法可以计算调制深度大情况下的动态特性。就其中两个重要影响因素加电方式和发射率分别进行讨论,得到:饱和功率相同的前提下,采用恒压源供电方式相比恒流源供电和恒定功率供电响应时间更小,从而更有利于改善光源的动态调制特性;相同条件下,选择高发射率的光源材料也有利于缩短上升时间。结合计算结果,对一个微型铂金薄膜红外光源的频响特性进行了验证测试,测试结果与计算分析符合较好。     

Observation of a cyclotron harmonic spike in microwave-induced resistances in ultraclean GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells

We report the observation of a colossal, narrow resistance peak that arises in ultraclean (mobility ～3×10? cm2/V s) GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QWs) under millimeter wave irradiation and a weak magnetic field. Such a spike is superposed on the 2nd harmonic microwave-induced resistance oscillations (MIRO) but having an amplitude >300% of the MIRO, and a typical FWHM ～50 mK, comparable with the Landau level width. Systematic studies show a correlation between the spike and a pronounced negative magnetoresistance in these QWs, suggesting a mechanism based on the interplay of strong scatterers and smooth disorder. Alternatively, the spike may be interpreted as a manifestation of quantum interference between the quadrupole resonance and the higher-order cyclotron transition in well-separated Landau levels.

Radiation coupling with two‐dimensional electron systems in the low limit of the microwave band: magnetoresistance response

We report on a theoretical study of radiation‐induced resistance oscillations and zero‐resistance states in two‐dimensional electron systems when the irradiation frequency is very low. In this situation the photon energy is much smaller than the spacing between the Landau levels and therefore interlevel transitions are excluded. Experiments show that when these frequencies are used, resistance oscillations disappear and, instead, a strong suppression of magnetoresistance response is obtained. We apply the radiation‐driven electron orbit model concluding that the resistance suppression is a manifestation of an oscillation of very large wavelength. Under this regime we study the connection with larger frequencies and the dependence on radiation power and temperature. For high enough radiation intensity, we predict that a regime of zero‐resistance states can be reached at these low frequencies, too. The calculated results are in good agreement with experiments.

Simulation of radiation losses using non-coronal model on HL-2A

In this paper, the radiation losses of impurity on HL-2A have been simulated by assuming the profiles electron temperature and density and solving ionization rate equation under conditions of non-coronal radiation. The time required for an impurity species to establish equilibrium is proved to be sensitively dependent on the plasma electron temperature, and it is strongly correlated with the ionization state distribution during equilibrium establishment of impurity species. It is found from simulation results that the residence parameter plays an important role in the enhancement of radiation losses of plasma.     

Microwave-induced dephasing in one-dimensional metal wires

We report on the effect of monochromatic microwave (MW) radiation on the weak-localization corrections to the conductivity of quasi-one-dimensional silver wires. Because of the improved electron cooling in the wires, the MW-induced dephasing is observed without a concomitant overheating of electrons over wide ranges of the MW power P(MW) and frequency f. The observed dependences of the conductivity and MW-induced dephasing rate on P(MW) and f are in agreement with the theory by Altshuler, Aronov, and Khmelnitsky [Solid State Commun. 39, 619 (1981)]. Our results suggest that in the low-temperature experiments with 1D wires, saturation of the temperature dependence of the dephasing time can be caused by an MW electromagnetic noise with a sub-pW power.     

Der Einfluß der Elektronenverteilungsfunktion auf Mikrowellenemission und Hochfrequenzleitfähigkeit eines schwach ionisierten Entladungsplasmas

We have investigated the influence of the distribution function on the microwave emission and the rf-conductivity. In the positive column of low current discharges through neon and argon the electrons are Druyvesteyn-like distributed, owing to the absence of Coulomb-interactions. In this case the radiation temperature is a function of the dc-field in the positive column, of the collision frequency for momentum transfer and the radiation frequency. With only elastic and excitation terms in the Boltzmann equation we have computed the distribution functions. These results are used to calculate the radiation temperature by means of Bekefis formula. Agreement is obtained between the experimental and theoretical results. The rf-conductivity does not depend very sensitively on changes in the distribution function; nevertheless the high values of the electron collision frequency obtained from the real part of the rf-conductivity could be explained only with a Druyvesteyn-like distribution.

Coherent and tunable radiation with power enhancement from surface plasmon polaritons

Surface plasmon polaritons excited by an electron beam can be transformed into coherent and tunable light radiation waves with power enhancement in the simple structure of a metal film with a dielectric medium loading. In this paper, the process of the radiation transformation of this radiation, and the dependencies of the radiation characteristics on the parameters of the structure and the electron beam are studied in detail. The radiation power enhancement is greatly influenced by the beam energy and the film thickness in the infrared to ultraviolet frequency region. Up to 122 times radiation power enhancement and 6.5% radiation frequency tuning band can be obtained by optimizing the beam energy and the parameters of the film.     

`Spiking' radiation in the Columbia free electron laser

A report is presented on the observation of spikes of high-intensity radiation emitted from a 2-mm wavelength Raman free electron laser oscillator. The spikes are correlated with a well-developed sideband spectrum, including several sideband harmonics, together with the carrier. A pulse width ~150 ps is obtained from analysis of data obtained with a two-slit Young's experiment. An even shorter pulse width results from a numerical model. Using an elementary model of the spike, it is estimated that the peak spike pulse power is ~100 MW     

Excitation of orotron oscillations at the doubled frequency of a surface wave

We study theoretically an electron frequency self-multiplier in which a surface mode of a periodic system is self-excited at a low frequency for a comparatively low current. The electron bunches, which appear as a result of this, excite the volume mode of an open resonator at the doubled frequency (coherent Smith-Purcell radiation). The open-resonator scheme allows one to obtain the higher power and coherence degree of radiation compared with the presently popular frequency multiplication scheme with an open periodic system (diffraction grating). The weakly relativistic and relativistic variants of the multipliers with a two-mirror open resonator designed for obtaining a high-power coherent radiation in the short-wavelength part of the millimeter and submillimeter ranges are studied numerically. The developed approach can also be used for designing high-power frequency multipliers on the basis of an array of nonlinear solid-state elements.     

Millimeter-Wave HF Relativistic Electron Oscillators

A review of the experimental study of single-mode oscillators based on stimulated bremsstrahlung and Cerenkov radiation of high-current relativistic electron beams is given. Three types of Cerenkov oscillators are investigated in detail: orotrons, surface wave oscillators and a flimatron (free electron maser (FEM) based on Smith-Purcell radiation). The bremsstrahlung oscillators studied are gyrotrons with TM modes, a ubitron operating at a quasi-critical frequency and cyclotron autoresonance masers. Electrodynamic and electron methods of mode selection provide stable radiation with a reproducible space structure of radiation in all oscillators under study. The radiation power attained 50-100 MW for long and 10-30 MW for short millimeter wavelengths at the efficiency up to 5-10 percent. Various types of oscillators are compared. Promising methods for increasing power and radiation frequency are discussed.
