Magnetotransport Study of a High Mobility Two-dimensional Electron Gas

Pages : 59
Book Description
This thesis is focused on an experimental study of the electrical properties of a two-dimensional electron gas formed in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. Low temperature magneto-transport measurements are used to characterize the carrier density and mobility of this system. An extensive study of the temperature and current dependence of quantum-mechanical transport effects, observable at very low temperatures, is performed in the temperature range of 4.2-100 K, for measurement currents in the range of 10 nA- 100℗æA. The well-known decrease in the amplitude of the Shubnikov-de Haas effect, and an accompanying increase in the onset magnetic field of these oscillations, with increasing temperature, as well as a simultaneous suppression of the quantum-Hall effect, is observed. Similar behavior is found on increasing the measurement current. An analysis of the insulator to quantum Hall transition (I-QH), occurring in the two-dimensional electron gas at low perpendicular magnetic fields, is also reported, along with the results of investigations of electron heating based on the measurements of the energy-loss rate. This study shows that the direct I-QH transition does not always correspond to the onset of strong localization, with clear Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations being observed in the insulating regime. A linear dependence of the electron energy-loss rate and electron temperature in the temperature range of 4.2-40 K is determined, indicating that the main mechanism for electron energy relaxation is acoustic phonon scattering.

High Magnetic Fields in Semiconductor Physics III
Author: Gottfried Landwehr
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642844081
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 699
Book Description
High magnetic fields have, for a long time, been an important tool in the investigation of the electronic structure of semiconductors. In recent yearsstudies of heterostructures and superlattices have predominated, and this emphasis is reflected in these proceedings. The contributions concentrate on experiments using transport and optical methods, but recent theoretical developments are also covered. Special attention is paid to the quantum Hall effect, including the problem of edge currents, the influence of contacts, and Wigner condensation in the fractional quantum Hall effect regime. The 27 invited contributions by renowned expertsprovide an excellent survey of the field that is complemented by numerous contributed papers.

Composite Fermions
Author: Jainendra K. Jain
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139462644
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 561
Book Description
This book was first published in 2007. When electrons are confined to two dimensions, cooled to near absolute zero temperature, and subjected to a strong magnetic field, they form an exotic new collective state of matter. Investigations into this began with the observations of integral and fractional quantum Hall effects, which are among the most important discoveries in condensed matter physics. The fractional quantum Hall effect and a stream of other unexpected findings are explained by a new class of particles: composite fermions. This textbook is a self-contained, pedagogical introduction to the physics and experimental manifestations of composite fermions. Ideal for graduate students and academic researchers, it contains numerous exercises to reinforce the concepts presented. The topics covered include the integral and fractional quantum Hall effects, the composite-fermion Fermi sea, various kinds of excitations, the role of spin, edge state transport, electron solid, bilayer physics, fractional braiding statistics and fractional local charge.

Variational Study of the Nematic State of the Two Dimensional Electron Gas in a Magnetic Field

Book Description
ABSTRACT: We have studied the nematic state of the two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at halffilled Landau level (LL). Our motivation comes from experiments in which anisotropic transport in the 2DEG under high magnetic field and at low temperature was observed. Based on a model of the nematic state proposed by Oganesyan, Fradkin and Kivelson, we investigate this state and compare it with other competing states proposed by other groups. First, we investigate at what LL the nematic state becomes energetically favorable as compared to the isotropic state. Our studies indicate that this occurs at the second excited LL. Moreover, we compare the energy of the nematic state with that of the stripe state obtained within the Hartree-Fock approximation (HF) and we conclude that, for the samples studied experimentally, the nematic state might be more stable. In our study we have used two different methods which both have advantages and disadvantages.
