In a cyclotron resonance experiment, part of the signal is absorbed by the electrons. What happens to this energy when the system is in a steady state?

Solution

In steady state condition, the signal is observed by the electrons results in the excitation of such electrons. The net excitations of such electrons due to to response by the electromagnetic radiation results in the change of behavoiur of the dielectric medium in which they move. New wave propogations are observed in such cases with in cyclotron motion, in which spiral carriers carry electromagnetic energy through the solid.

These are referred as the plasma waves which are observed travelling through the conducting solids at magnetic fields and are higher than those required for cyclotron resonance. These excitations are mostly observed as circulary polarised waves, known as helicon and travel along the magnetic fields.
