We study the microwave‐induced photoconductivity of a two‐dimensional electron system (2DES) in the presence of a magnetic field and a two‐dimensional modulation. The microwave and Landau contributions are exactly taken into account, while the periodic potential is treated perturbatively. The longitudinal resistivity exhibits oscillations, periodic in ω / ω c . Negative resistance states (NRS) develop for sufficiently high electron mobility and microwave power. This phenomenon appears in a narrow window region of values of the lattice parameter ( a ), around a ∼ l B , where l B is the magnetic length. It is proposed that these phenomena may be observed in artificially fabricated arrays of periodic scatterers at the interface of ultraclean heterostructures. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
