Abstract
We predict a double-resonant feature in the magnetic field dependence of the phonon-mediated longitudinal conductivity σxx of a two-subband quasi-two-dimensional electron system in a quantizing magnetic field. The two sharp peaks in σxx appear when the energy separation between two Landau levels belonging to different size-quantization ...
We predict a double-resonant feature in the magnetic field dependence of the phonon-mediated longitudinal conductivity σxx of a two-subband quasi-two-dimensional electron system in a quantizing magnetic field. The two sharp peaks in σxx appear when the energy separation between two Landau levels belonging to different size-quantization subbands is favorable for acoustic-phonon transitions. One-phonon and two-phonon mechanisms of electron conductivity are calculated and compared. The phonon-mediated interaction between the intersecting Landau levels is considered and no avoided crossing is found at thermal equilibrium.
