A flip of the magneto-intersubband oscillation peaks, which occurs as a result of the current-induced inversion of the quantum component of resistivity, is observed. We also see splitting of these peaks as another manifestation of nonlinear behavior, specific for the two-subband electron systems. The experimental results are quantitatively explained by the theory based on the kinetic equation for the isotropic non-equilibrium part of electron distribution function. The inelastic scattering time is determined from the dependence of the inversion magnetic field on the current.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-11-27T17:33:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.23.-b", "73.50.Fq" ], "keywords": [ "double quantum wells", "nonlinear transport", "oscillating magnetoresistance", "magneto-intersubband oscillation peaks", "inversion magnetic field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevB.80.075308", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2009, "month": "Aug", "volume": 80, "number": 7, "pages": "075308" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009PhRvB..80g5308M" } } }
