Abstract

In tilted magnetic fields a bilayer electron-hole system is found to generate a photocurrent under terahertz radiation as the system is tuned to electron cyclotron resonance conditions. The photoinduced current amplitude oscillates with the magnetic field in correlation with Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations for electrons. The phenomenon is accounted for by a photomagnetic effect in electron-hole systems in the quantum Hall regime and has potentialities for terahertz detection and spectroscopy.
