Probing the Potential Landscape Inside a Two-Dimensional Electron Gas

Probing temperature-driven flow lines in a gated two-dimensional electron gas with tunable spin-splitting.

We study the temperature flow of conductivities in a gated GaAs two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) containing self-assembled InAs dots and compare the results with recent theoretical predictions. By changing the gate voltage, we are able to tune the 2DEG density and thus vary disorder and spin-splitting. Data for both the spin-resolved and spin-degenerate phase transitions are presented, the f...

Compressible Gas Flow Inside a Two-Dimensional Uniform Microchannel

This paper analyzes a compressible gas flow through a microchannel, and reports a complete set of first-order analytical solutions. Thiswork represents an extension of the previouswork ofArkilic on compressibleflows through amicrochannel. First, by comparing themagnitudes of different forces in the compressible gasflow,weobtain proper estimations for the Reynolds and Mach numbers at the channel...

Two-dimensional electron gas at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 inteface with a potential barrier.

We present a tight binding description of electronic properties of the interface between LaAlO3 (LAO) and SrTiO3 (STO). The description assumes LAO and STO perovskites as sets of atomic layers in the x-y plane, which are weakly coupled by an interlayer hopping term along the z axis. The interface is described by an additional potential, U0, which simulates a planar defect. Physically, the inter...

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 ,...
