Many-Electron Transport Phenomena in Nondegenerate 2D Electron Systems

  • Chapter
Book cover Two-Dimensional Electron Systems

Part of the book series: Physics and Chemistry of Materials with Low-Dimensional Structures ((PCMALS,volume 19))

Abstract

We consider static conductivity and cyclotron resonance in a normal two-dimensional electron fluid and Wigner crystal. The analysis is nonperturbative in the electron-electron interaction. It is based on the concept of a Coulomb force that drives an electron due to thermal fluctuations of electron density. This force controls electron dynamics in classical and semiclassical systems, where it is uniform over the electron wavelength, and strongly affects electron scattering by helium vapor atoms and ripplons, and thus electron transport. We derive and develop techniques for solving the many-electron quantum transport equation in the range from zero to quantizing magnetic fields B. We show that the static conductivity σ is nonmonotonous as a function of B, and that many-electron effects give rise to substantial narrowing of the cyclotron resonance absorption peak and to strong nonlinearity of the current-voltage characteristic even in the absence of electron heating. The results are in good qualitative and quantitative agreement with experiment and explain why different types of B-dependence of σ have been observed.
