Microwave-induced resistance oscillations in tilted magnetic fields

ORAL

Abstract

We have studied the effect of an in-plane magnetic field on microwave-induced resistance oscillations in a high mobility two-dimensional electron system. We have found that the oscillation amplitude decays exponentially with an in-plane component of the magnetic field. While these findings cannot be accounted for by existing theories, our analysis suggests that the decay can be explained by a quadratic-in-parallel-field correction to the quantum scattering rate.
