The two-terminal magneto-conductance of a hole gas in C-doped AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures with ohmic contacts consisting of alloyed In/Zn/Au displays a pronounced hysteresis of the conductance around zero magnetic field. The hysteresis disappears above magnetic fields of around 0.5 T and temperatures above 300 mK. For magnetic fields below 10 mT we observe a pronounced dip in the magneto-conductance. We tentatively discuss these experimental observations in the light of superconductivity of the ohmic contacts.

High-quality C-doped p-type AlGaAs heterostructures with mobilities exceeding 150 000 cm$^2$/Vs are investigated by low-temperature magnetotransport experiments. We find features of the fractional quantum Hall effect as well as a highly resolved Shub
nikov-de Haas oscillations at low magnetic fields. This allows us to determine the densities, effective masses and mobilities of the holes populating the spin-split subbands arising from the lack of inversion symmetry in these structures.
Ohmic contacts to a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures are often realized by annealing of AuGe/Ni/Au that is deposited on its surface. We studied how the quality of this type of ohmic contact depends on the annealing
time and temperature, and how optimal parameters depend on the depth of the 2DEG below the surface. Combined with transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry studies of the annealed contacts, our results allow for identifying the annealing mechanism and proposing a model that can predict optimal annealing parameters for a certain heterostructure.
We report on magnetotransport measurements in two MBE-grown GaAs/AlGaAs superlattices formed by wide and narrow quantum wells and thin Si-doped barriers subject to tilted magnetic fields. It has been shown that illumination of the strongly coupled su
perlattice with narrow wells leads to reduction of its dimensionality from the 3D to 2D. The illumination-induced transition is revealed by remarkable change of magnetoresistance curves as compared to those measured before illumination. The experimental data along with tight-binding model calculations indicate that the illumination not only enhances the electron concentration but also suppresses the electron tunneling through the barriers.
We achieved ohmic contacts down to 5 K on standard n-doped Ge samples by creating a strongly doped thin Ge layer between the metallic contacts and the Ge substrate. Thanks to the laser doping technique used, Gas Immersion Laser Doping, we could attai
n extremely large doping levels above the solubility limit, and thus reduce the metal/doped Ge contact resistance. We tested independently the influence of the doping concentration and doped layer thickness, and showed that the ohmic contact improves when increasing the doping level and is not affected when changing the doped thickness. Furthermore, we characterised the doped Ge/Ge contact, showing that at high doping its contact resistance is the dominant contribution to the total contact resistance.
Low-temperature electrical conductance spectroscopy measurements of quantum point contacts implemented in p-type GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures are used to study the Zeeman splitting of 1D subbands for both in-plane and out-of-plane magnetic field orie
ntations. The resulting in-plane g-factors agree qualitatively with those of previous experiments on quantum wires while the quantitative differences can be understood in terms of the enhanced quasi-1D confinement anisotropy. The influence of confinement potential on the anisotropy is discussed and an estimate for the out-of-plane g-factor is obtained which, in contrast to previous experiments, is closer to the theoretical prediction.
