Popis: An investigation is performed of the relaxation of plasma excitations in two-dimensional electron systems (2D-ESes) in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures. The effect radiational and incoherent collisional relaxation mechanisms have on the linewidth of cyclotron magnetoplasma resonance (CR) is studied. CR arises as a pure resonance that does not hybridize with dimensional magnetoplasma excitations. It is shown how magnetoplasma resonances form a CR’s fine structure due to the interaction between coherent radiative and incoherent collisional mechanisms of two-dimensional plasma relaxation. A comparative analysis is performed of the dependences of cyclotron and transport periods of relaxation on both the temperature and electron density of 2D-ESes. It is demonstrated that the period of cyclotron relaxation could exceed that of transport at low electron densities.
