A striking rf or microwave resonance is a generic feature of electron solid phases of two-dimensional electron systems. These resonances have served to identify and characterize such solids, in the insulator that terminates the series of fractional quantum Hall effects at high magnetic field, in the range of the integer quantum Hall effect, and in bubble phases in the first excited and higher Landau levels.
