We perform a diagrammatic calculation and find radiation-induced resistivity oscillations with the correct period and phase. Results are explained via a simple picture of current induced by photo-excited disorder-scattered electrons. The oscillations increase with radiation intensity, easily exceeding the dark resistivity and resulting in negative-resistivity minima. At high intensity, we identify additional features, likely due to multi-photon processes, which have yet to be observed experimentally.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2003-08-25T15:11:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "radiation-induced magnetoresistance oscillations", "microwave radiation reveal", "2d electron gas", "oscillatory dependence", "radiation frequency" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
