Abstract

The theory of spin rotation waves (SRWs), representing excitations of a new type arising in twodimensional systems with spin-orbit interaction in an external electric field, has been developed. These intrinsic modes correspond to rotation of the magnetic moment vector in the plane formed by the electric field vector and the normal to the sample plate surface. An experimental method is proposed for detecting SRWs by measuring the frequency dependence of the magnetic susceptibility, which exhibits a resonance at the intrinsic mode frequency. A particular calculation is performed for a hopping conductivity model (for small-size polarons), but it is likely that intrinsic oscillations of the SRW type also take place for the band transport, since their appearance is related to the symmetry of the system.
