Abstract:

We investigate the Terahertz(THz)-response of a square antidot superlattice by means of photoconductivity measurements using a Fourier-transform-spectrometer. We detect, spectrally resolved, the cyclotron resonance and the fundamental magnetoplasmon mode of the periodic superlattice. In the dissipative transport regime both resonances are observed in the photoresponse. In the adiabatic transport regime, at integer filling factor $\nu =2$, only the cyclotron resonance is observed. From this we infer that different mechanisms contribute to converting the absorption of THz-radiation into photoconductivity in the cyclotron and in the magnetoplasmon resonances, respectively.
