Abstract: | Microwave-resonance induced increase of magneto-resistivity σ
xx
−1 of the surface-state electrons (SSE) on liquid 3He is observed at low temperatures at which SSE crystallize into the Wigner solid (WS). At the resonance, the relative change
of σ
xx
−1 of SSE in the solid phase is found to be several times of the corresponding change in the liquid phase measured under similar
experimental conditions. We attribute this effect to melting of WS induced by electron heating which accompanies the microwave
absorption. σ
xx
−1 is found to increase gradually with microwave power, which is rather different from the sharp resistivity increase induced
by direct heating of the substrate in the absence of microwaves. The effect of microwave resonance-induced heating on the
sliding of WS from the periodic surface deformation of liquid is also investigated.
