Gating of high-mobility two-dimensional electron gases in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures

Original · EN

We investigate high-mobility two-dimensional electron gases in AlGaAs heterostructures by employing Schottky-gate-dependent measurements of the samples' electron density and mobility. Surprisingly, we find that two different sample configurations can be set in situ with mobilities diering by a factor of more than two in a wide range of densities. This observation is discussed in view of charge redistributions between the doping layers and is relevant for the design of future gateable high-mobility electron gases.
