Novel magneto-oscillatory behavior of confined electrons at a twin boundary in ZnSe and at an interface in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures

Electronic properties of confined electrons at naturally formed twin boundaries in ZeSe have been investigated by microwave absorption measurements. Cyclotron resonance signal of the confined electrons was observed. On the cyclotron resonance peak, novel oscillation of the absorption intensity was observed. Similar oscillatory behavior was also observed in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures near cyclotron resonance filed at which new Shubnikov-de Haas-like oscillation was observed by Zudov. The oscillatory structure has a period not in inverse magnetic field but magnetic field. The origin of the oscillation observed is caused by Rayleigh interference of two-dimensional electron gas.
