  2. OUTLINES • Introduction-- What is edge magnetoplasmon (EMP)?-- Previous works about EMP of low-dimensional electron systems (LDES’s). • Experimental setup-- Development of high-sensitive microwave vector detection system at an extremely low-power level. • EMP excitations in quantum-wire array • Conclusions 2

  3. 3D plasma charge flow t must be long enough! restoring force field!! dispersion: 3

  4. 2D plasma l ~p/|q| When |q| decreases, the restoring force decreases too. For 2DES in GaAs/AlGaAs, n2D=3x1011 cm-2, 2p/|q| =10um, fp=100GHz. 4

  5. 2D magnetoplasma ~p/|q| B The restoring force is enhanced by the magnetic field. 5

  6. Edge magnetoplasma (EMP) in a finite 2DES sxx sxy B EXB drift EF E B Confinement potential may affect the group velocity of the edge electrons. Scattering between the bulk 2D and the edge may damp the oscillation. e- B E EMP is in the RF or microwave frequency range. 6

  7. First Observation of EMP Observation of Bulk and EMP in two dimensional electron fluid D. B. Mast, A. J. Dahm, and A. L. Fetter, PRL 54, 1706-1709 (1985) B = 0 B ≠ 0 A 2DES on the surface of Liquid Helium placed in a perpendicular B-field. 7

  8. JEPT Lett., 42, 557 (1985) depend on the details of the confinement potential. depend on the scattering and interactions. 8

  9. Quantum Hall Effect (QHE) provides a very unique platform to study EMPs. EMP is also a very unique tool for studying the edge states of QHEs. EF wc Edge Channels Landau level spacing 9

  13. Detection by Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) Sensors The CPW is patterned by photolithography. There are about 60 alignment keys along the CPW. Quantum wire array is patterned by e-beam lithography. 13

  14. T =0.3K Detection by Phase-Locked Loops (PLL) f0 =f1+ fs =b1l1+bs(B)ls Df0 =0=Df1+Dfs(B) =Db1l1+Dbs(B)ls fs=bsls PLL system phase=f1=b1l1 sample known Sample under detection B: the parameter (magnetic field) sweeping in the experimentu: phase velocity of the signal in coaxial cable Type-II PLL 14

  15. Pulsed Microwave PLL and Gated Average System Schematicof a homemade PLL system for microwave signals up to 18 GHz. The phase resolution is about 0.001 degree even at very low average input power level (~ -100dBm). A special designed homodyne amplitude detection scheme allows us to detect very small microwave adsorption (smaller than 0.005%). 1. 2. (mixers) 15

  17. Comparing with commercial vector meters • Better than a commercial VNA at an extremely low-power level !! • The resolutions achieved here are better than 0.005% (0.0087dB) for amplitude variation and 0.001O for phase with a very low-average power (about -100dBm) into the sample. T=0.3K 17

  28. We observed EMP excitations in a QW array with a homemade very-high-sensitivity vector detection system. • The low-frequency part of the data can be explained by Mikhailov’s theory, while the high-frequency part exhibits a 2DES-like behavior. We mapped out the transition in between, which is not included in the simple theory. • We measured the polarizability of a QW array. 28
