The magnetotransport properties of a two-dimensional electron gas were studied at low temperatures in an inverted GaAs-AlGaAs heterostructure whose electron density could be changed between 0.8 × 10 11 and 2.4 × 10 11 cm −2 by the application of a substrate bias. The epitaxial layers were grown undoped to reduce the influence of remote ionized impurity scattering and so a biased back-gate was needed to create the two-dimensional electron gas. The conductive back-gate required the use of a shallow Pd/AuGe/Ag/Au contact recipe. We present the magnetoresistance response for a range of back-gate biases (electron densities) and compare the mobilities, the transport scattering and the single-particle relaxation times with theory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
