Abstract

The plasma oscillations in new advanced two-dimensional electron systems (2DESs) based on the heterostructures ZnO/MgZnO, AlAs/AlGaAs, and GaAs/AlGaAs are studied and compared. The relaxation times and the effective masses in samples with various electron densities in these 2DESs are found by microwave plasma spectroscopy. The specific features of the plasma oscillations in the AlAs/AlGaAs quantum wells that are induced by the filling of several valleys with electrons are revealed. The possibility of adjusting a plasmon spectrum via changing the electron concentrations in valleys is demonstrated.
