Thermodynamics of a quasi-two-dimensional electron gas: Effects of magnetic fields, temperature and finite width

Thermodynamic properties of electron gas in complex-shaped quantum well

“…The maxima are determined by the QW thickness for which the Fermi level coincides with the next subband bottom. At large quantum numbers the Fermi level behavior is in good agreement with data of Ramos et al [1].…”

“…In the last years, thermodynamics of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in thin films has been quite intensively studied [1][2][3][4]. Thermodynamic characteristics of the films are dependent not only on the film thickness but also on profile and parameters of quantum well (QW).…”

On the Heat Capacity of a Quasi-Two-Dimensional Electron Gas

“…It is approximately equal to half the sum of the successive steps of the heat capacity (18) obtained under the condition −1 < < . In a similar way, from (15) we can find an expression for the density of states at the resonance point…”

“…A quasi-two-dimensional electron gas in heterostructural quantum wells causes both fundamental and applied interest, since the spatial quantization of the carrier energy leads to the manifestation of interesting low-dimensional effects [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Of particular interest is the behavior of a two-dimensional electron gas in a magnetic field [9][10][11][12][13][14][15], since the latter can significantly change the properties of the system.…”

On the Thermodynamics of a Two-Dimensional Electron Gas with Non-Parabolic Dispersion

“…Recently, a large number of studies are devoted to the study of two-dimensional electron gas in a magnetic field [1]- [3]. Studying influences of other factors as anisotropy of the electron spectrum and conduction band nonparabolicity on the properties of two dimensional electron gas is also important [4].…”
