We demonstrate tunable transverse rectification in a density-modulated two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). The density modulation is induced by two surface gates, running in parallel along a narrow stripe of 2DEG. A transverse voltage in the direction of the density modulation is observed, i.e. perpendicular to the applied source-drain voltage. The polarity of the transverse voltage is independent of the polarity of the source-drain voltage, demonstrating rectification in the device. We find that the transverse voltage $U_{y}$ depends quadratically on the applied source-drain voltage and non-monotonically on the density modulation. The experimental results are discussed in the framework of a diffusion thermopower model.

We present thermopower $S$ and resistance $R$ measurements on GaAs-based mesoscopic two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) as functions of the electron density $n_s$. At high $n_s$ we observe good agreement between the measured $S$ and $S_{rm{MOTT}}$
, the Mott prediction for a non-interacting metal. As $n_s$ is lowered, we observe a crossover from Mott-like behaviour to that where $S$ shows strong oscillations and even sign changes. Remarkably, there are absolutely no features in $R$ corresponding to those in $S$. In fact, $R$ is devoid of even any universal conductance fluctuations. A statistical analysis of the thermopower oscillations from two devices of dissimilar dimensions suggest a universal nature of the oscillations. We critically examine whether they can be mesoscopic fluctuations of the kind described by Lesovik and Khmelnitskii in Sov. Phys. JETP. textbf{67}, 957 (1988).
We have fabricated high-mobility, two-dimensional electron gases in a GaAs quantum well on cylindrical surfaces, which allows to investigate the magnetotransport behavior under varying magnetic fields along the current path. A strong asymmetry in the
quantum Hall effect appears for measurements on both sides of the conductive path. We determined the strain at the position of the quantum well. We observe ballistic transport in 8-micrometers-wide collimating structures.
Rectification of microwave radiation (20-40 GHz) by a line boundary between two two-dimensional metals on a silicon surface was observed and investigated at different temperatures, in-plane magnetic fields and microwave powers. The rectified voltage
$V_{dc}$ is generated whenever the electron densities $n_{1,2}$ of the two metals are different, changing polarity at $n_1 approx n_2$. Very strong nonlinear response is found when one of the two 2D metals is close to the electron density corresponding to the reported magnetic instability in this system.
We report on a systematic investigation of the dominant scattering mechanism in shallow two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) formed in modulation-doped GaAs/Al_{x}Ga_{1-x}As heterostructures. The power-law exponent of the electron mobility versus d
ensity, mu propto n^{alpha}, is extracted as a function of the 2DEGs depth. When shallower than 130 nm from the surface, the power-law exponent of the 2DEG, as well as the mobility, drops from alpha simeq 1.65 (130 nm deep) to alpha simeq 1.3 (60 nm deep). Our results for shallow 2DEGs are consistent with theoretical expectations for scattering by remote dopants, in contrast to the mobility-limiting background charged impurities of deeper heterostructures.
We present measurements of the energy relaxation length scale $ell$ in two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs). A temperature gradient is established in the 2DEG by means of a heating current, and then the elevated electron temperature $T_e$ is estima
ted by measuring the resultant thermovoltage signal across a pair of deferentially biased bar-gates. We adapt a model by Rojek and K{o}nig [Phys. Rev. B textbf{90}, 115403 (2014)] to analyse the thermovoltage signal and as a result extract $ell$, $T_e$, and the power-law exponent $alpha_i$ for inelastic scattering events in the 2DEG. We show that in high-mobility 2DEGs, $ell$ can attain macroscopic values of several hundred microns, but decreases rapidly as the carrier density $n$ is decreased. Our work demonstrates a versatile low-temperature thermometry scheme, and the results provide important insights into heat transport mechanisms in low-dimensional systems and nanostructures. These insights will be vital for practical design considerations of future nanoelectronic circuits.
