Nonlinear resistivity of a two-dimensional electron gas in a magnetic field
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop a theory of nonlinear response to an electric field of a two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG placed in a classically strong magnetic field. The latter leads to a nonlinear current-voltage characteristic at a relatively weak electric field. The origin of the nonlinearity is twofold: the formation of a nonequilibrium electron distribution function and the geometrical resonance in the inter-Landau-level transitions rates. We find the dependence of the current-voltage characteristics on the electron relaxation rates in the 2DEG.

Calculation of Quasi-one-dimensional Interacting Electron Gas Using the Hartree-Fock Method
In this paper, the Hartree-Fock method has been formulated to investigate some of the ground state properties of quasi-one-dimensional interacting electron gas in the presence of the magnetic field. The bare coulomb interaction between electrons has been assumed. For this system, we have also computed some of its thermodynamic and magnetic properties such as the energy, pressure, incompressibil...

The longitudinal resistivity of two-dimensional 2D electrons placed in strong magnetic field is significantly reduced by applied electric field, an effect which is studied in a broad range of magnetic fields B and temperatures T in GaAs quantum wells with high electron density. The data are found to be in good agreement with theory, considering the strong nonlinearity of the resistivity as the ...

We study transport properties of a two-dimensional electron gas, placed in a classically strong perpendicular magnetic field and in constant and oscillating in-plane electric fields. The analysis is based on a quantum Boltzmann equation derived for a weakly disordered two-dimensional electron gas. We consider disordered potential with both longand short-range correlations.

We calculate the stopping power for heavy-ion diclusters moving in a strongly coupled two-dimensional electron gas system by using the local field corrected dielectric function at finite temperature. We obtain a parameterized local field correction factor based on a relation between the thermal compressibility and exchange-correlation energy in two-dimension. The interpolated parameter is deriv...
