Abstract
Abstract
The complex high-frequency conductance of high-mobility n-GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures was determined in magnetic fields 12–18 T using the Surface Acoustic Waves technique. Analysis of frequency and temperature dependences of conductance showed that in the investigated magnetic field range and at low temperatures, T<200 mK, the electron system forms a Wigner crystal deformed due to pinning by disorder. We have also defined an effective melting temperature of the Wigner crystal.
