We determine the density-dependent electron mass, m*, in two-dimensional (2D) electron systems of GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures by performing detailed low-temperature Shubnikov deHaas measurements. Using very high quality transistors with tunable electron densities we measure m* in single, high mobility specimens over a wide range of r_s (6 to 0.8). Toward low-densities we observe a rapid increase of m* by as much as 40%. For 2>r_s>0.8 the mass values fall ~10% below the band mass of GaAs. Numerical calculations are in qualitative agreement with our data but differ considerably in detail.

We describe a technique to fabricate closely spaced electron-hole bilayers in GaAs-AlGaAs heterostructures. Our technique incorporates a novel method for making shallow contacts to a low density ($<10^{11}cm^{-2}$) 2-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) that do not require annealing. Four terminal measurements on both layers (25nm apart) are possible. Measurements show a hole mobility $mu_{h}>10^{5}{rm cm}^{2}{rm V}^{-1}{rm s}^{-1}$ and an electron mobility $mu_{e}>10^{6}{rm cm}^{2}{rm V}^{-1}{rm s}^{-1}$ at 1.5K. Preliminary drag measurements made down to T=300mK indicate an enhancement of coulomb interaction over the values obtained from a static Random Phase Approximation (RPA) calculation.
We report quantum dots fabricated on very shallow 2-dimensional electron gases, only 30 nm below the surface, in undoped GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Due to the absence of dopants, an improvement of more than one order of magnitude in mobility (at 2E11 /cm^2) with respect to doped heterostructures with similar depths is observed. These undoped wafers can easily be gated with surface metallic gates patterned by e-beam lithography, as demonstrated here from single-level transport through a quantum dot showing large charging energies (up to 1.75 meV) and excited state energies (up to 0.5 meV).
We study the transport properties of the two-dimensional electron gas in AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures in parallel to the interface magnetic fields at low temperatures. The magnetoresistance in the metallic phase is found to be positive and weakly anisotropic with respect to the orientation of the in-plane magnetic field and the current through the sample. At low electron densities ($n_s< 5times 10^{10}$ cm$^{-2}$) the experimental data can be described adequately within spin-related approach while at high $n_s$ the magnetoresistance mechanism changes as inferred from $n_s$-independence of the normalized magnetoresistance.
We investigated the spin dynamics of two-dimensional electrons in (001) GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure using the time resolved Kerr rotation technique under a transverse magnetic field. The in-plane spin lifetime is found to be anisotropic below 150k due to the interference of Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling and Dyakonov-Perel spin relaxation. The ratio of in-plane spin lifetimes is measured directly as a function of temperature and pump power, showing that the electron density in 2DEG channel strongly affects the Rashba spin-orbit coupling.
By applying a magnetic field perpendicular to GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional electron systems, we study the low-field Landau quantization when the thermal damping is reduced with decreasing the temperature. Magneto-oscillations following Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) formula are observed even when their amplitudes are so large that the deviation to such a formula is expected. Our experimental results show the importance of the positive magneto-resistance to the extension of SdH formula under the damping induced by the disorder.
