Abstract
The inelastic electron-electron scattering rate in strongly coupled qu antum wells is investigated. Both intrasubband and intersubband scatte ring processes are considered. The theoretical results are compared wi th experimental data obtained from the analysis of the resistance reso nance measured on GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs heterostructures in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field. A good agreement with the theoretical curv es is obtained. The range of validity of the picture presented is disc ussed critically.
