Microwave induced magnetoresistance oscillations and inelastic scattering time in double quantum wells

The interference of microwave-induced resistance oscillations and magneto-intersubband oscillations in double quantum wells exposed to a continuous microwave irradiation is under study. By comparing experimental and theoretical magnetoresistance traces at different temperatures, we confirm that the inelastic mechanism of photoresistance explains our observations up to View the MathML source. For higher temperatures, our results suggest a deviation of the inelastic scattering time τin from the predicted T−2 dependence.
