Abstract

Quantum effects in p-type Si0.2Ge0.8/Ge/Si0.2Ge0.8 heterostructure with an extremely high mobility of charge carriers μH = 1367000 cm2/(V ⋅ s) have been comprehensively studied. An analysis of Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations yielded effective mass of charge carriers, which proved to be very low, m* = 0.062m0, and the value of fluctuations of hole density along the channel δp = 3.5 ⋅ 109 cm–2. The fractional Hall effect (filling numbers 8/3, 7/3, 5/3, 4/3) observed at temperatures up to 5 K has been discovered in strong magnetic fields. The studies of quantum interference effects related to weak localization and electron-electron interaction between charge carriers, which have been conducted in such a high-mobility system for the first time, enabled calculation of spin splitting Δ = 1.07 meV and the Fermi-liquid coupling constant F 0 σ = − 0.12, which agree with results obtained earlier.Quantum effects in p-type Si0.2Ge0.8/Ge/Si0.2Ge0.8 heterostructure with an extremely high mobility of charge carriers μH = 1367000 cm2/(V ⋅ s) have been comprehensively studied.
