K. Tsukagoshi et al., MAGNETOTRANSPORT THROUGH DISORDERED AND ANISOTROPIC ANTIDOT LATTICES IN GAAS ALXGA1-XAS HETEROSTRUCTURES/, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 52(11), 1995, pp. 8344-8347
We investigate the relation between commensurability oscillations and
current how direction in lateral two-dimensional anisotropic antidot l
attices. The anisotropy is introduced as one-directional fluctuation o
r expansion of the lattice spacing. The fluctuation of the antidot loc
ation suppresses the peaks of commensurability oscillations. The suppr
ession is dominated by the fluctuation perpendicular to the current ho
w direction. In one-directional expanded lattices, the peaks appear at
the magnetic fields which correspond to the cyclotron motions with th
e diameter of the periods perpendicular to the current. These results
suggest that the commensurability oscillations are determined only by
the period along the direction perpendicular to the current.
