RESUMEN
Dynamical conductivity contains information of dissipative and nondissipative processes induced by ac-electric fields. In the integer quantum Hall (QH) effect where the nondissipative Hall current is the most prominent feature, its robustness is assured by localized states within the Landau levels. We establish a noncontact method with a circular cavity resonator and detect the real and imaginary parts of the longitudinal and Hall conductivities at a microwave frequency in magnetic fields. The conventional Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations and QH plateaus are observed in the real parts of longitudinal and Hall conductivities, respectively, while periodic structures can be seen in the imaginary parts which are scaled by the QH filling factor. The latter originates from intra-Landau level transitions between different orbital angular momenta. The results demonstrate that the dynamical conductivity measurement provides microscopic information which is not accessible by conventional static methods. The present noncontact method would pave the way to reveal the electron dynamics in other two-dimensional systems such as twisted bilayer graphene.
RESUMEN
We have developed a method to obtain wideband magnetic polarization selective spectra of magnetic thin films by using circularly polarized microwaves. The combination of an over-coupled crossed microstrip resonator and a hybrid coupler enables broadband and accurate control of circularly polarized microwaves. The performance of the present method was demonstrated with an yttrium iron garnet thin film, and we detected the magnetic polarization dependence of a Kittel mode and a perpendicular standing spin wave mode in the range of 3-20 GHz. In addition, three types of crossed microstrip resonators were systematically studied with experiments and simulations. As a result, we achieved the polarization efficiency of 80% and found how to optimize the crossed microstrip resonator depending on the desired sensitivity, bandwidth, or sample size.
