Extended Defects and Properties of Two-Dimensional Electron Gas in Semiconductors

Objetivo

The project is an investigation (basically experimental, but also theoretical) of the effects of various extended defects, particularly of dislocations, on the basic electrical (transport) properties of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in III-V compound semiconductor hetero-structures. The properties chiefly concerned are the low temperature magneto-transport effects, i.e. the Shubnikov-de Haas effect and quantum Hall effect, and also the scattering mechanisms and mobility of the carriers in the 2DEG.

The hetero-structures supporting the 2DEG, on which this work will be focused, are mainly the GaAlAs/GaAs and InGaAs/InP systems. The main line of work will consist of the study of the effects of controlled dislocation arrays on the 2DEG properties. These dislocations will be generated by plastic bending at high temperatures, as appropriate for the various host materials. Magneto-transport measurements and structural and optical characterisation of the hetero-structures will be performed.
