Abstract

The linear DC-response properties of a system subject to an additional time varying perturbation (microwave) are qualitatively different from the case without the perturbation. In such a situation, the usual formulation of linear response has to be changed. We use the Boltzmann—equation to derive a general expression for the conductivity tensor. The theory is valid in the quasi—classical regime which usually is described by Drude—like formulas. As an application of the general formalism, for a two dimensional heterojunction with impurity scattering, deviations from the Drude result are predicted. A calculation for the case of a 2d Silicon layer shows that the deviations strongly depend on the microwave polarization and the Fermi energy.
