The transport and thermoelectric properties of the interface between SrTiO$_3$ and a 26-monolayer thick LaAlO$_3$-layer grown at high oxygen-pressure have been investigated at temperatures from 4.2 K to 100 K and in magnetic fields up to 18 T. For $T
>$ 4.2 K, two different electron-like charge carriers originating from two electron channels which contribute to transport are observed. We probe the contributions of a degenerate and a non-degenerate band to the thermoelectric power and develop a consistent model to describe the temperature dependence of the thermoelectric tensor. Anomalies in the data point to an additional magnetic field dependent scattering.
We present temperature-dependent magneto-transport experiments around the charge neutrality point in graphene and determine the amplitude of potential fluctuations $s$ responsible for the formation of electron-hole puddles. The experimental value $s
approx 20$ meV is considerably larger than in conventional semiconductors which implies a strong localization of charge carriers observable up to room temperature. Surprisingly, in the quantized regime, the Hall resistivity overshoots the highest plateau values at high temperatures. We demonstrate by model calculations that such a peculiar behavior is expected in any system with coexisting electrons and holes when the energy spectrum is quantized and the carriers are partially localized.
When sweeping the carrier concentration in monolayer graphene through the charge neutrality point, the experimentally measured Hall resistivity shows a smooth zero crossing. Using a two- component model of coexisting electrons and holes around the ch
arge neutrality point, we unambiguously show that both types of carriers are simultaneously present. For high magnetic fields up to 30 T the electron and hole concentrations at the charge neutrality point increase with the degeneracy of the zero-energy Landau level which implies a quantum Hall metal state at u=0 made up by both electrons and holes.
