Under high-intensity monochromatic radiation $\\omega$ we observe new zero-resistance states (ZRS) which correspond to rational values of $\\epsilon=\\omega/\\omega_C$ ($\\omega_C$ is the cyclotron frequency) and can be associated with multiphoton processes. %Formation of these rational ZRS is accompanied by a dramatic reconstruction of the photoresistance spectrum which reveals diminishing, narrowing, and phase reduction of the resistance peaks, as well as overall suppression of resistance at $\\epsilon<1/2$. Under bichromatic radiation $\\omega_1,\\omega_2$ we discover new resistance minimum, possibly a precursor of bichromatic ZRS, which seems to originate from a frequency mixing process, $\\omega_1+\\omega_2$. These findings indicate that multiphoton processes play important roles in the physics of non-equilibrium transport of microwave-driven 2DES, and suggest new directions for theoretical and experimental studies.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-12-19T21:39:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "2d electron system", "microwave photoresistance", "multiphoton processes play important roles", "ultra-high mobility two-dimensional electron system", "bichromatic radiation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
