The plasma oscillations spectrum of a periodically inhomogeneous 2D electron system near the perforation threshold

Abstract

The transformation of the spectrum of plasma oscillations with the zero reduced wave vector in the spatially modulated two-dimensional electron system moving to the regime of isolated quasi-one-dimensional electron channels is theoretically investigated. The results provide an explanation of the well-known experimental observations of the plasma resonance transformation when a two-dimensional electron system crosses the continuity violation threshold.
