We analyze the conductance fluctuations for a bulk two-dimensional electron system in a GaN/Al 0:15 Ga 0:85 N heterostructure grown on a p-type Si(111) substrate, and calculate the correlation field B c with the autocorrelation function FðÁBÞ ¼ hGðB þ ÁBÞ À GðBÞi, in the temperature range 0:27 T 3 K, which is employed as a self-thermometer to obtain the effective carrier temperature T e as a function of the measurement current I. We find that the temperature dependence agrees well with simple expectations for universal conductance fluctuations in metals, while the observed amplitude is reduced. In the study of hot-carrier phenomena, we also obtain T e $ I 0:5 , which agrees with some theoretical prediction.
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.
