ABSTRACTWe have measured the Shubnikov-de Haas effect and Quantum Hall effect on the AlxGa1−xSb/InAs quantum wells for the A1 composition (x) from 0.1 to 1.0 under the negative persistent photoconductivity (NPPC) conditions. It confirmed the prediction of ionized deep donor model that the NPPC effect is a general property for the materials containing ionized deep donors at low temperatures. The time-dependent recombination (electron capture) of the ionized deep donors has the similar property to that of DX centers. The saturated reduction of carrier concentration in the InAs well increases with increasing x, and rises steeply at about x=0.4. By comparing with the concentration of the DX center-like deep donor in the bulk AlxGa1−xSb, we believe that the ionized deep donors which cause the NPPC in the AlxGa1−xSb,/InAs QW's are the DX center-like deep donors in the AlxGa1−xSb layers.

ABSTRACTWe have performed Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) measurements on the AlxGa1-xSb/InAs QW's with x from 0.1 to 1.0 under the negative persistent photoconductivity (NPPC) conditions and confirmed the prediction of Ionized Deep Donor model that the NPPC effect is a universal property for the materials containing ionized deep donors at low temperatures. The time-dependent recombination (electron capture) of the ionized deep donors is similar to that of DX centers. The saturated reduction of carrier concentration in the InAs well increases with increasing x, and rises steeply at about x=0.4. The concentration of deep donors which cause the NPPC in the AlxGa1-xSb/InAs QW's increases with the Al composition.

GaAs / AlGaAs structures with single quantum well (QW) of different width and with coupled quantum wells separated by central barrier of six monolayers of AlAs have been synthesized by MBE. The temperature dependence of resistance, Hall electron concentration and mobility were investigated in the temperature interval 4.2 K <T<300 K . Shubnikov–de Haas (SdH) oscillations and quantum Hall effect were also investigated in high magnetic fields up to 38 T. The influence of thin central barrier on the subband energy structure and electron mobility was analyzed for three values of QW width L=13, 26 and 35 nm. Self-consistent calculations of the subband structure and envelope wave function were carried out.

The collapse of spin splitting in the integer quantum Hall effect is investigated for a series of Al x Ga 1-x As / GaAs heterojunctions and quantum wells. Magnetoresistance measurements are performed at mK temperature, and a simple model is developed to simulate spin splitting. As expected a single-electron picture cannot reproduce the observed spin splitting, whereas a phenomenological enhanced-spin gap taking into account exchange interactions between electrons provides a good description. The phenomenological spin gap, which is linear in B at high magnetic field, collapses when the spin splitting collapses. This is consistent with previously proposed disorder-driven destruction of exchange interactions with decreasing magnetic field.
