Abstract
Weak localization effects and the interactions of charge carriers are studied in two Si0.7Ge0.3/Si0.2Ge0.8/Si0.7Ge0.3 p-type heterostructures, where one or two quantum levels are filled, respectively. A weak localization effect for two-dimensional charge carriers is found to occur in weak magnetic fields when the spin-orbital and inelastic scattering times are close, which is indicative of splitting of the spin states under the influence of a perturbing potential related to the formation of a two-dimensional potential well (Rashba mechanism). In higher magnetic fields when one quantum level is occupied, interaction effects appear that are caused by Coulomb interactions with a scatterer. When the two quantum levels are occupied, the dominant mechanism is scattering on Friedel oscillations of the charge carrier density induced by an impurity electric field. In all regions, the quantum corrections are in good agreement with modern theoretical predictions.
