The spectra of plasma and magnetoplasma excitations in a two-dimensional system of anisotropic heavy fermions were investigated for the first time. The spectrum of microwave absorption by disk-like samples of stressed AlAs quantum wells at low electron densities showed two plasma resonances separated by a frequency gap. These two plasma resonances correspond to electron mass principle values of $(1.10 pm 0.05) m_0$ and $(0.20 pm 0.01) m_0$. The observed results correspond to the case of a single valley strongly anisotropic Fermi surface. It was established that electron density increase results in population of the second valley, manifesting itself as a drastic modification of the plasma spectrum. We directly determined the electron densities in each valley and the inter-valley splitting energy from the ratio of the two plasma frequencies.

We report measurements of the spin susceptibility in dilute two-dimensional electrons confined to a 45$AA$ wide AlAs quantum well. The electrons in this well occupy an out-of-plane conduction-band valley, rendering a system similar to two-dimensional electrons in Si-MOSFETs but with only one valley occupied. We observe an enhancement of the spin susceptibility over the band value that increases as the density is decreased, following closely the prediction of quantum Monte Carlo calculations and continuing at finite values through the metal-insulator transition.

We studied a doping series of (110)-oriented AlAs quantum wells (QWs) and observed transport evidence of single anisotropic-mass valley occupancy for the electrons in a 150 AA wide QW. Our calculations of strain and quantum confinement for these samp les predict single anisotropic-mass valley occupancy for well widths $W$ greater than 53 AA. Below this, double-valley occupation is predicted such that the longitudinal mass axes are collinear. We observed mobility anisotropy in the electronic transport along the crystallographic directions in the ratio of 2.8, attributed to the mass anisotropy as well as anisotropic scattering of the electrons in the X-valley of AlAs.
The double quantum well systems consisting of two HgTe layers separated by a tunnel-transparent barrier are expected to manifest a variety of phase states including two-dimensional gapless semimetal and two-dimensional topological insulator. The pres ence of several subbands in such systems leads to a rich filling factor diagram in the quantum Hall regime. We have performed magnetotransport measurements of the HgTe-based double quantum wells in both gapless and gapped state and observed numerous crossings between the Landau levels belonging to different subbands. We analyze the Landau level crossing patterns and compare them to the results of theoretical calculations.
We report on transport and capacitance spectroscopy study of two kinds of quantum wells, namely Cd$_{0.02}$Hg$_{0.98}$Te and Cd$_{0.06}$Hg$_{0.94}$Te with the thicknesses of 7.4 and 11.5 nm, accordingly. The fraction of Cd was chosen in a way that th e both quantum wells are expected to have gapless band structure typical for a Dirac fermions system. We have established that the first quantum well exhibits a massless Dirac fermions system with a quality slightly better then in conventional HgTe quantum wells of critical thickness. Second quantum well exhibits a high-quality two-dimensional topological insulator state with the energy gap of around 10 meV and well-defined edge transport making it as a good candidate for further study and applications of topological insulators.
Terahertz photoconductivity of $100~mu$m and $20~mu$m Hall bars fabricated from narrow AlAs quantum wells (QWs) of different widths is investigated in this paper. The photoresponse is dominated by collective magnetoplasmon excitations within the body of the Hall structure. We observed a radical change of magnetoplasma spectrum measured precisely for AlAs QWs of width ranging from $4$~nm up to $15$~nm. We have shown that the observed behavior is a vivid manifestation of valley transition taking place in the two-dimensional electron system. Remarkably, we show that photoresponse for AlAs QWs of width $6$~nm features two resonances, indicating simultaneous occupation of strongly anisotropic $X_{x-y}$ valleys and isotropic $X_z$ valley in the QW plane. Our results pave the way to realizing valley-selective layered heterostructures, with potential application in valleytronics.
