Abstract

The conductivity of the high magnetic field insulating phases of two-dimensional electron and hole systems (2DES and 2DHS) of sufficiently low disorder exhibits a resonance at microwave frequency. We present and compare results on this resonance in a moderate disorder 2DES and in a high quality 2DHS. The 2DES exhibits the resonance even though the high-B insulator is not reentrant around the 1/5 fractional quantum Hall effect. The resonance in the 2DHS is much sharper than that in the 2DES, and appears to be inconsistent with the standard model of a two-dimensional harmonic oscillator in a magnetic field.
