Abstract

We examine the influence of microwave photoexcitation on the amplitude of Shubnikov--de Haas (SdH) oscillations in a two-dimensional GaAs/AlGaAs electron system in a regime where the cyclotron frequency ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{c}$ and the microwave angular frequency $\ensuremath{\omega}$ satisfy $2\ensuremath{\omega}\ensuremath{\leqslant}{\ensuremath{\omega}}_{c}\ensuremath{\leqslant}3.5\ensuremath{\omega}$. A SdH lineshape analysis indicates that increasing the incident microwave power has a weak effect on the amplitude of the SdH oscillations, in comparison to the influence of modest temperature changes on the dark-specimen SdH effect. The results indicate negligible electron heating under modest microwave photoexcitation, in good agreement with theoretical predictions.
