Observation of Cyclotron Resonance in Surface-Bound Electrons on Liquid Helium

Abstract

We have observed cyclotron resonance from electrons in two-dimensional states outside liquid helium. Their resonant frequency depends only on the perpendicular component of the applied magnetic field, and their observed mobility is that expected for electrons scattered parallel to the liquid surface in only two dimensions.
