    Notes: Abstract We employ a magnetocapacitance technique to study the spectrum of the soft two-subband (or double-layer) electron system in a parabolic quantum well with a narrow tunnel barrier at the center. In this system, when unbalanced by gate depletion, two sets of quantum oscillations are observed at temperatures T≳30 mK: one originates from the upper electron subband in the closer-to-the-gate part of the well, and the other indicates the existence of common gaps in the spectrum at integer fillings. For the lowest filling factors υ=1 and υ=2, both the presence of a common gap down to the point of the one-to two-subband transition and their nontrivial magnetic field dependences point to magnetic-field-induced hybridization of electron subbands.

    Notes: Abstract We employ magnetocapacitance measurements to study the spectrum of a double layer system with gate-voltage-tuned electron density distributions in tilted magnetic fields. For the dissipative state in normal magnetic fields at filling factor v=3 and 4, a parallel magnetic field component is found to give rise to the opening of a gap at the Fermi level. We account for the effect in terms of parallel-field-caused orthogonality breaking of the Landau wave functions with different quantum numbers for two subbands.

    Notes: Abstract Nonlinear interaction of an intense surface acoustic wave (SAW) with a 2D electron-hole plasma generated by light in a semiconductor quantum well near a piezoelectric crystal is investigated. It is shown that, in a strongly nonlinear regime, the acoustoelectric interaction is enhanced because of the accumulation of carriers in the field of an intense SAW. In addition, in a strongly nonlinear regime, the dissipation of the acoustic wave energy increases and the sound velocity decreases. These dependences fundamentally differ from those observed in a unipolar plasma. For high sound intensities, analytical results are obtained.

    Notes: We describe a simple, contactless method to study the interaction of surface acoustic waves (SAW) with a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures at low temperatures and in high magnetic fields. The heterostructure is part of a sandwich structure on a Y-cut Z-propagating LiNbO3-SAW-delay line. The interaction of the SAW with the 2DES leads to quantum oscillations of the SAW amplitude as a function of the applied magnetic field which can be used to characterize the sample and to investigate the transport properties of the 2DES.

    Notes: The acoustoelectric effect in a hybrid of a strong piezoelectric material and a semiconductor layer containing a two-dimensional electron system is investigated. Caused by the very strong interaction between a surface acoustic wave and the mobile carriers in the semiconductor, the acoustoelectric effect is very large as compared to other materials, which might be interesting for device applications. Moreover, the tunability of the sheet conductivity of the electron system enables us to tune the magnitude of the acoustoelectric effect over a wide range. We present experimental results for a GaAs/LiNbO3 layered hybrid system at room temperature and describe our experimental findings quantitatively using a recently developed model calculation. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We report the growth and characterization of a high-quality wide (∼2000 A(ring)) three-dimensional electron gas (3DEG) with periodic density modulation (period ∼200 A(ring)) in a modulation-doped wide parabolic potential well with a superimposed superlattice. Computer-controlled molecular beam epitaxy is used to synthesize the potential well as a graded AlxGa1−xAs digital alloy. The density-modulated 3DEG is compared to a uniform 3DEG of the same average density and width in a parabolic well without the superlattice. The Al mole fraction profiles for the two samples are measured in calibration runs immediately prior to actual growths. The density-modulated 3DEG has a low-temperature in-plane mobility in excess of 105 cm2/V s, compared to ∼2×105 cm2/V s for the uniform 3DEG. Capacitance-voltage measurements directly reveal the modulation of the density of the electron gas in the parabolic well with superimposed superlattice, and the absence of any density modulation for the gas in the bare parabolic well.

    Notes: With spatially resolved photoluminescence experiments we demonstrate voltage-controlled trapping of excitons in a submicron scale lateral potential superlattice imposed on a semiconductor quantum well. The potential modulation is achieved by two interdigitated field-effect electrodes on top of the sample surface. Both parallel and vertical electric field components strongly modify the optical properties of the quantum well. We show that the lateral modulation of the strength of the quantum confined Stark effect results in an effective lateral exciton potential that can be probed by spatially resolved measurements of the excitonic luminescence. We demonstrate that excitons may be confined to the regions of strongest vertical fields, in which the effective exciton energy is lowest. Spatial resolution of the observed photoluminescence signal allows for a qualitative understanding of the exciton transport and trapping process. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The interaction between surface acoustic waves and high mobility quasi-two-dimensional electron systems (2DES) in GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunctions with variable carrier density is investigated experimentally. In specially designed samples the strength of this acoustoelectric interaction can be controlled via the field-effect induced variation of the carrier density of the 2DES. Since the sensitivity of surface acoustic wave experiments is particularly high at very low conductivities, the proposed technique will be an especially valuable tool for the investigation of 2DES with extremely low sheet carrier densities. We demonstrate that the proper use of a metallic gate electrode does not conflict with the piezoelectric interaction between the mobile carriers confined in the heterostructure and the surface acoustic wave propagating on the piezoelectric substrate. © 1994 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We demonstrate room-temperature acoustic charge transport of electrons and holes in an InGaAs/GaAs heterostructure. The carriers are optically generated by interband absorption and then separated, stored, and transported in the piezoelectric potential superlattice of a surface acoustic wave. The charge distribution is detected with a spatial resolution of a few acoustic wavelengths by a second orthogonal probe beam, genererated by so-called tapered transducers. The image information is given as a phase shift signal in frequency space and allows for the direct comparison of the number of generated and transported carriers. Regions of mere carrier drag and full carrier capture and transport are observed simultaneously. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are excited on the GaAs (001) surface by using interdigital transducers, designed for frequencies of up to 900 MHz. The emitted phonons with wavelengths down to 3.5 μm are visualized and characterized by combined x-ray diffraction techniques. Using stroboscopic topography, the SAW emission of a parallel and a focusing transducer geometry are imaged. High-resolution x-ray diffraction profiles show up to 12 phonon-induced satellite reflections besides the GaAs (004) reflection, with a width of 9 arcsec each. The diffraction pattern is simulated numerically, applying the kinematical scattering theory to a model crystal. From fits to measured diffraction profiles at different excitation voltages, the SAW amplitudes were calculated and found to be in the sub-nm range. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
