    Abstract

    A B-periodic magnetotransport oscillation in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells was reported. The oscillations were induced by microwave radiation and were periodic in magnetic field. The period was determined by the electron density, the microwave frequency and the distance between potential probes. It was found that the phenomenon was accounted for by interference of coherently excited edge magnetoplasmons in the contact regions and offers perspectives for developing new tunable microwave and terahertz detection schemes and spectroscopic techniques.
