AFM local oxidation nanopatterning of a high mobility shallow 2D hole gas
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recently developed AFM local anodic oxidation (LAO) technique offers a convenient way of patterning nanodevices, but imposes even more stringent requirements on the underlying quantum well structure. We developed a new very shallow quantum well design which allows the depth and density of the 2D gas to be independently controlled during the growth. A high mobility (0.5×106 cm2 V−1 s−1 at 4.2 K) 2D hole gas just 350 Å below the surface is demonstrated. A quantum point contact, fabricated by AFM LAO nanopatterning from this wafer, shows nine quantum steps at 50 mK. c © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Si/SiGe Nanostructures Fabricated by Atomic Force Microscopy Oxidation
In this work, local AFM oxidation technique in a controlled humidity environment has been used to create small features in strained SiGe alloys. When directly oxidizing SiGe alloys, minimum line widths of 20nm were achieved by adjusting parameters such as the bias voltage on the microscope tip and the tip writing speed. It was found that when bias voltage increases, and/or when the tip writing ...
متن کاملFractional quantum Hall effect in bilayer two-dimensional hole-gas systems.
We have studied the fractional and integer quantum Hall effect in high mobility double layer 2D hole gas systems. The large hole effective mass inhibits tunneling, allowing us to investigate the regime in which the interlayer and intralayer interactions are comparable without significant interlayer tunneling occurring. As the interlayer separation is reduced we observe the formation of bilayer ...

متن کاملA microscopic model for D-wave pairing in the cuprates: what happens when electrons somersault?
We present a microscopic model for a strongly repulsive electron gas on a 2D square lattice. We suggest that nearest-neighbor Coulomb repulsion stabilizes a state in which electrons undergo a `somersaulta in their internal spin-space (spin-#ux). When this spinantiferromagnetic (AFM) insulator is doped, the charge carriers nucleate mobile, charged, bosonic vortex solitons accompanied by unoccupi...
