Abstract

The terahertz response of a high-density and high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas in 13-nm GaAs quantum wells at frequencies of 0.7 and 1.63 THz has been investigated. Terahertz radiation-induced magnetoresistance oscillations have been discovered. The oscillation maxima coincide with the harmonics of cyclotron resonance. It has been shown that a large number of harmonics (up to the ninth) appear under irradiation at a frequency of 0.7 THz. In this case, the effect is the analogue of microwave-induced oscillations. At a higher frequency, the oscillation amplitude decreases drastically with an increase in the harmonic number. This indicates a transition to the regime of ordinary cyclotron harmonics.
