We have found that when $\\omega_2/\\omega_1= 1 + 2/N$, where $N$ is an integer, and both waves have the same polarization, the displacement mechanism gives rise to a new, phase-sensitive photoresistance. This photoresistance oscillates with the magnetic field and can be a good fraction of the total photoresistance under typical experimental conditions. The inelastic mechanism, on the other hand, gives zero phase-sensitive photoresistance if the radiation fields are circularly polarized.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-12-11T19:14:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.43.Qt", "73.40.-c", "73.21.-b", "73.63.Hs" ], "keywords": [ "two-dimensional electron gas", "phase-sensitive bichromatic photoresistance", "two-dimensional electron system subject", "radiation fields", "quantum kinetic equation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2013, "month": "Dec", "volume": 88, "number": 24, "pages": 245409 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013PhRvB..88x5409S" } } }
