Nonlinear AC and DC Conductivities in a Two-Subband n-GaAs/AlAs Heterostructure

The DC and AC conductivities of the n-GaAs/AlAs heterostructure with two filled size quantization levels are studied within a wide magnetic field range. The electron spectrum of such heterostructure is characterized by two subbands (symmetric $S$ and antisymmetric $AS$), separated by the band gap $Δ_{12}=15.5$ meV. It is shown that, in the linear regime at the applied magnetic field $B >3$ T, the system exhibits oscillations corresponding to the integer quantum Hall effect. A quite complicated pattern of such oscillations is well interpreted in terms of transitions between Landau levels related to different subbands. At $B <1$ T, magneto-intersubband resistance oscillations (MISOs) are observed. An increase in the conductivity with the electric current flowing across the sample or in the intensity of the surface acoustic wave (SAW) in the regime of the integer quantum Hall effect is determined by an increase in the electron gas temperature. In the case of intersubband transitions, it is found that nonlinearity cannot be explained by heating. At the same time, the decrease in the AC conductivity with increasing SAW electric field is independent of frequency, but the corresponding behavior does not coincide with that corresponding to the dependence of the DC conductivity on the Hall voltage $E_y$.

AC and DC Conductivities in an n-GaAs/AlAs Heterostructure with a Wide Quantum Well in the Integer Quantum Hall Effect Regime

The direct-current (dc) $σ_{xx}^{dc}$ and alternating-current (ac) $σ_{xx}^{ac}=σ_1-iσ_2$ conductivities of a wide (46 nm) GaAs quantum well with the bilayer electron density distribution are measured. It is found that the magnetic field dependence of $σ_{xx}$ exhibits three sets of oscillations related to the transitions between Landau levels in symmetric and antisymmetric subbands and with the transitions occurring owing to the Zeeman splitting of these subbands. The analysis of the frequency dependence of the ac conductivity and the $σ_1 / σ_2$ ratio demonstrates that the conductivity at the minima of oscillations is determined by the hopping mechanism.

Universal Frequency Dependence of the Hopping AC Conductance in p-Ge/GeSi Structures in the Integer Quantum Hall Effect Regime

The hopping ac conductance, which is realized at the transverse conductance minima in the regime of the integer Hall effect, has been measured using a combination of acoustic and microwave methods. Measurements have been made in the p-GeSi/Ge/GeSi structures with quantum wells in a wide frequency range (30-1200 MHz). The experimental frequency dependences of the real part of ac conductance $σ_1$ have been interpreted on the basis of the model presuming hops between localized electronic states belonging to isolated clusters. At high frequencies, dominating clusters are pairs of close states; upon a decrease in frequency, large clusters that merge into an infinite percolation cluster as the frequency tends to zero become important. In this case, the frequency dependences of the ac conductance can be represented by a universal curve. The scaling parameters and their magnetic-field dependence have been determined.

Effective g factor of 2D holes in strained Ge quantum wells

The effective g-factor of 2D holes in modulation doped \mbox{p-SiGe/Ge/SiGe} structures was studied. The AC conductivity of samples with hole densities from $3.9 \times 10^{11}$~to $6.2 \times 10^{11}~\text{cm}^{-2}$ was measured in perpendicular magnetic fields up to $8~\text{T}$ using a contactless acoustic method. From the analysis of the temperature dependence of conductivity oscillations, the $\mathrm{g}_{\perp}$-factor of each sample was determined. The $\mathrm{g}_{\perp}$-factor was found to be decreasing approximately linearly with hole density. This effect is attributed to non-parabolicity of the valence band.
