Dislocation scattering in a two dimensional electron gas
نویسنده
چکیده
A theory of scattering by charged dislocation lines in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is developed. The theory is directed towards understanding transport in AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMT), which have a large number of line dislocations piercing through the 2DEG. The scattering time due to dislocations is derived for a 2DEG in closed form. This work identifies dislocation scattering as a mobility-limiting scattering mechanism in 2DEGs with high dislocation densities. The insensitivity of the 2DEG (as compared to bulk) to dislocation scattering is explained by the theory. ∗[email protected]

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...

We present a study of electron scattering processes in AlGaN/GaN two-dimensional electron gases. A theoretical study of the effect of deformation potential scattering from strain fields surrounding dislocations is presented. The most important scattering mechanisms limiting electron transport are identified. We find that for AlGaN/GaN 2DEGs, mobility is limited by alloy scattering at high 2DEG ...

Electronic transport in unintentionally doped GaxIn1-xN alloys with various Ga concentrations (x = 0.06, 0.32 and 0.52) is studied. Hall effect measurements are performed at temperatures between 77 and 300 K. Temperature dependence of carrier mobility is analysed by an analytical formula based on two-dimensional degenerate statistics by taking into account all major scattering mechanisms for a ...
متن کاملQuantum and classical scattering times due to charged dislocations in an impure electron gas
We derive the ratio of transport and single-particle relaxation times in threeand two-dimensional electron gases due to scattering from charged dislocations in semiconductors. The results are compared to the respective relaxation times due to randomly placed charged impurities. We find that the ratio is larger than the case of ionized impurity scattering in both threeand two-dimensional electro...
