Abstract
We report the observation of photovoltage oscillations in back-gated two-dimensional electron systems when tuning the density under incident microwaves and in the absence of a magnetic field. The oscillations are periodic in the inverse of the square root of the density. They originate from the interference of screened bulk plasmons with a linear dispersion. This phenomenon can be exploited to devise a spectrometer-on-a-chip for millimeter waves. The influence of a perpendicular magnetic field is investigated and reveals a transformation of screened bulk plasmons waves into screened edge magnetoplasmons.
