Description

We suggest a method to measure the Compton wavelength by placing a superlattice in combined static electric and magnetic fields applied along its growth axis. When the magnitudes of the fields are appropriately chosen, a resonance can be excited between the transverse (circular) and longitudinal (oscillatory) motion of the carriers in the superlattice. This resonance enables an accurate measurement of the Compton wavelength
