At low magnetic field $B$, the differential resistivity acquires a correction $\\delta r \\propto -\\lambda^2 j^2/B^2$, where $\\lambda$ is the Dingle factor and $j$ is the current density, in agreement with theoretical predictions. At higher magnetic fields, however, $\\delta r$ becomes $B$-independent, $\\delta r \\propto -j^2$. While the observed change in behavior can be attributed to a crossover from overlapping to separated Landau levels, full understanding of this behavior remains a subject of future theories.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-08-23T19:47:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.43.Qt", "73.63.Hs", "73.21.-b", "73.40.-c" ], "keywords": [ "separated landau levels", "gaas quantum wells", "nonlinear response", "high-mobility two-dimensional electron system subject", "overlapping" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevB.86.081307", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2012, "month": "Aug", "volume": 86, "number": 8, "pages": "081307" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhRvB..86h1307H" } } }
