We report on theoretical studies of recently discovered radiation-induced resistance oscillations and zero resistance states in Hall bars when the irradiation frequency is very low. In this situation the photon energy is much smaller than the spacing between the Landau levels and therefore interlevel transitions are excluded. We apply the radiation-driven electron orbit model concluding that the resistance suppression is a manifestation of “long-wavelength” resistance oscillations where only one complete oscillation is observed.
