Abstract

We study longitudinal electron transport in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) at moderate magnetic fields. We observe a stepwise behavior of both the Hall coefficient and magnetoresistivity. The peculiarities are explained by a magnetic-field-induced localization of electrons in a two-dimensional (2D) potential relief of the InGaN MQW due to composition fluctuations. We extend the model for a magnetic localization of electrons, treating every QW like a quasi-2D system with a cylindrical potential relief. The calculated values of the decrease of the sheet electron concentrations in a magnetic field based on such an assumption for 2D density of states in a InGaN MQW system are in good accordance with the experimentally obtained values.
