Abstract
The parameters of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure were determined by an acoustic (contactless) method in the delocalized electron region (B ≤ 2.5 T). Nonlinear effects in Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) absorption by 2DEG are determined by electron heating in the electric field of SAW, which may be described in terms of the electron temperature Tc. The energy relaxation time τε is determined by the scattering at piezoelectric potential of acoustic phonons with strong screening. At different SAW frequencies the heating depends on the relationship between ωτε and 1 and is determined either by the instantaneously changing wave field (ωτε < 1), or by the average wave power (ωτε > 1).
