In this paper, we present the results of magnetotransport experiments performed on a single barrier GaAs/AlAs/GaAs heterostructures. Tunnel current was measured as a function of magnetic field for different values of bias voltage and hydrostatic pressure. We observed that the amplitude of the magnetooscillations of tunnel current quenched when the requirements for resonant tunnelling were met and it recovered in out-of-resonance conditions. This effect was observed both for tunnelling through donor states and through X-minimum related quasiconfined conduction band states. The fact that also in the latter case the amplitude was restored suggests that this process involved X_z subbands and took place without a participation of phonons (the so-called k_ǁ-conserving process).
