When the cyclotron energy is close to the intersubband splitting the system can be mapped onto a four-level electron system with an effective filling factor of two. The ground state is either a ferromagnetic state or a spin-singlet state, depending on the values of the inter-level splitting and Zeeman energy. The boundaries between these phases are strongly influenced by the inter-electron interaction. A significant exchange-mediated enhancement of the excitation gap results in the suppression of the electron-phonon interaction. The rate of absorption of non-equilibrium phonons is calculated as a function of Zeeman energy and inter-subband splitting. The phonon absorption rate has two peaks as a function of intersubband splitting and has a step-like structure as a function of Zeeman energy.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-11-20T18:52:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantizing magnetic field", "two-subband system", "tuning gaps", "zeeman energy", "two-subband quasi-two-dimensional electron system" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
