Abstract
For high-mobility two-dimensional electrons at a GaAs/AlGaAs
heterojunction, we have studied, both experimentally and
theoretically, the recently discovered giant magnetoresistance
oscillations with nearly zero resistance in the oscillation minima
which appear under microwave radiation. We have proposed a
model based on nonequilibrium occupation of Landau levels caused by
radiation which describes the oscillation picture.
