Abstract

Inelastic light scattering on a weakly density-modulated 2D electron system accesses the large wavevectors needed to probe electron interactions in quantum Hall states. For v = 1, existence of well-defined intersubband and inter-Landau-level dispersive collective modes is demonstrated. Best agreement with theoretical predictions requires an induced-wave-vector scheme qm = m( π d), where m = integer and d is a partial period of the modulation. Wave vectors qm can be induced when altering strips of compressible and incompressible fluids decouple and confine electron states to strips of width d.
