Abstract

The magnetotransport properties of a two-dimensional electron gas were studied at low temperatures in an inverted GaAs - AlGaAs heterostructure whose electron density could be changed between and by the application of a substrate bias. The epitaxial layers were grown undoped to reduce the influence of remote ionized impurity scattering and so a biased back-gate was needed to create the two-dimensional electron gas. The conductive back-gate required the use of a shallow Pd/AuGe/Ag/Au contact recipe. We present the magnetoresistance response for a range of back-gate biases (electron densities) and compare the mobilities, the transport scattering and the single-particle relaxation times with theory.
