20. The giant oscillations of acoustoelectric current vs gate voltage resemble giant oscillations in sound absorption in a quantizing magnetic field discovered by V. L. Gurevich, V. G. Skobov and Yu. A. Firsov, Zh. Éksp. Teor. Fiz. 40, 786 (1961) [Sov. Phys. JETP 13, 552 (1961)]. The source of both phenomena is a combination of a multibranch spectrum with the limitations induced by the momentum conservation law.
