The lifetime of two dimensional electrons in GaAs quantum wells, placed in weak quantizing magnetic fields, is measured using a simple transport method in broad range of temperatures from 0.3 K to 20 K. The temperature variations of the electron lifetime are found to be in good agreement with conventional theory of electron-electron scattering in 2D systems.

We consider the effect of electron correlations on tunneling from a 2D electron layer in a magnetic field parallel to the layer. A tunneling electron can exchange its momentum with other electrons, which leads to an exponential increase of the tunneling rate compared to the single-electron approximation. Explicit results are obtained for a Wigner crystal. They provide a qualitative and quantitative explanation of the data on electrons on helium. We also discuss tunneling in semiconductor heterostructures.
The ground state of 2D electrons in high magnetic field is studied by the density matrix renormalization group method. The ground state energy, excitation gap, and pair correlation functions are systematically calculated at various fillings in the lowest and the second lowest Landau levels. The ground state phase diagram, which consists of incompressible liquid state, compressible liquid state, stripe state, pairing state, and Wigner crystal is determined.
The electron tunneling is experimentally studied between two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) formed in a single-doped-barrier heterostructure in the magnetic fields directed perpendicular to the 2DEGs planes. It is well known that the quantizing magnetic field induces the Coulomb pseudogap suppressing the electron tunneling at Fermi level. In this paper we firstly present the experimental results revealing the pseudogap in the electron tunneling assisted by elastic electron scattering on disorder.
Graphene in the quantum Hall regime exhibits a multi-component structure due to the electronic spin and chirality degrees of freedom. While the applied field breaks the spin symmetry explicitly, we show that the fate of the chirality SU(2) symmetry is more involved: the leading symmetry-breaking terms differ in origin when the Hamiltonian is projected onto the central (n=0) rather than any of the other Landau levels. Our description at the lattice level leads to a Harper equation; in its continuum limit, the ratio of lattice constant a and magnetic length l_B assumes the role of a small control parameter in different guises. The leading symmetry-breaking terms are direct (n=0) and exchange (n different from 0) terms, which are algebraically small in a/l_B. We comment on the Haldane pseudopotentials for graphene, and evaluate the easy-plane anisotropy of the graphene ferromagnet.
We report experimental results on a quantum point contact (QPC) device formed in a wide AlAs quantum well where the two-dimensional electrons occupy two in-plane valleys with elliptical Fermi contours. To probe the closely-spaced, one-dimensional electric subbands, we fabricated a point contact device defined by shallow-etching and a top gate that covers the entire device. The conductance versus top gate bias trace shows a series of weak plateaus at integer multiples of $2e^2/h$, indicating a broken valley degeneracy in the QPC and implying the potential use of QPC as a simple valley filter device. A model is presented to describe the quantized energy levels and the role of the in-plane valleys in the transport. We also observe a well-developed conductance plateau near $0.7x2e^2/h$ which may reflect the strong electron-electron interaction in the system.
