Abstract

Based on acousto-electronic interaction an experimental apparatus for the carrier kinetic studies in semiconducting heterostructures at low temperatures and strong magnetic fields has been designed and constructed. Surface acoustic wave (30 200 MHz) attenuation and velocity change have been measured and the high-frequency conductivity of the GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures in the quantum Hall regime was determined from these measurements.
