Abstract

We investigate the transport properties of a two-dimensional electron gas residing in strained composite quantum wells of In0.75Ga0.25As/InAs/In0.75Ga0.25As cladded with In0.75Al0.25As barriers grown metamorphically on insulating InP substrates. By optimizing the widths of the In0.75Ga0.25As layers, the In0.75Al0.25As barrier, and the InAs quantum well, we demonstrate mobility in excess of 1×106 cm2/V s. Mobility vs. density data indicate that scattering is dominated by a residual three dimensional distribution of charged impurities. We extract the effective Rashba parameter and spin-orbit length for these composite quantum wells.
