Two-dimensional electronic systems in non-equilibrium exhibit some exciting phenomena. One phenomenon are Hall field-induced resistance oscillations (HIROs), which can be recognized in the magnetoresistance of a highly mobile sample. Applying a direct current (x-direction) generates a tilt of the Landau levels due to the additional Hall field (y-direction). Tunneling to a higher Landau level is therefore possible, whereby the maximum probability depends on the shift in the y-direction. From theoretical considerations, a HIRO maximum arises due to backscattering, because this leads to the maximum shift (by 2Rc) in the y-direction for a single scattering event. We have investigated HIROs as a function of the obstacle density in two-dimensional Lorentz gases. A monotonous increase of the HIRO period with increasing density of the designed obstacles is observed. At large current densities, the HIROs deviate even qualitatively from the theoretical expectations. In addition, we determined the quantum scattering time τq and the backscattering time τπ using the HIROs. The quantum scattering times from the HIROs are significantly larger than the quantum scattering time that can be determined from the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in the equilibrium.
