摘要
A high electron density Al0.2Ca0.8As/In0.2Ga0.8As/GaAs quantum well exhibited the integer quantum Hall effect at even-integer filling factors nu=4,6,.. and 24, only. The energy gaps and pre-exponential factors were determined. A carrier effective mass of m* = 0.082m(e) was found. The ratio of the transport relaxation time to the quantum lifetime (alpha=3.9+/-0.3) indicated that the dominant scattering mechanism was long-range remote ion scattering. At 30 mK, the carrier density in the dark was 1.35x10(12) cm(-2), which increased (due to the persistent photoconductivity effect) to 1.76x10(12) cm(-2) upon illumination, accompanied by a similar improvement in mobility.
