Flicker noise in two-dimensional electron gas

Two-dimensional electron gas near full polarization

We establish the consistency of the Fermi liquid description and find a relation between the Fermi liquid constants for a two-dimensional electron system near the point of full polarization due to a parallel magnetic field H. Our results enable us to predict connections between different thermodynamic properties of the system. In particular, we find that near the point of full polarization Hc ,...

Two dimensional electron gas at oxide interfaces

Shot-noise and conductance measurements of transparent superconductor/two-dimensional electron gas junctions

We have measured the conductance and shot noise of superconductor-normal metal S-N junctions between a niobium Nb film and a two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG , formed in an InAs-based semiconductor heterostructure. Adjacent to the junction, the 2DEG is shaped into a sub-micrometer beam splitter. The current shot noise measured through one arm of the beam splitter is found to be enhanced due to...

The spin-double refraction in two-dimensional electron gas

We briefly review the phenomenon of the spin-double refraction that originates at an interface separating a two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling from a one without. We demonstrate how this phenomenon in semiconductor heterostructures can produce and control a spin-polarized current without ferromagnetic leads.

Charge and spin dynamics in a two-dimensional electron gas.

A number of time-resolved optical experiments probing and controlling the spin and charge dynamics of the high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction are discussed. These include time-resolved reflectivity, luminescence, transient grating, magneto-optical Kerr effect, and electro-optical Kerr effect experiments. The optical experiments provide information on the c...
