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.

Vertical heterostructures combining different layered materials offer novel opportunities for applications and fundamental studies of collective behavior driven by inter-layer Coulomb coupling. Here we report heterostructures comprising a single-laye r (or bilayer) graphene carrying a fluid of massless (massive) chiral carriers, and a quantum well created in GaAs 31.5 nm below the surface, supporting a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas. These are a new class of double-layer devices composed of spatially-separated electron and hole fluids. We find that the Coulomb drag resistivity significantly increases for temperatures below 5-10 K, following a logarithmic law. This anomalous behavior is a signature of the onset of strong inter-layer correlations, compatible with the formation of a condensate of permanent excitons. The ability to induce strongly-correlated electron-hole states paves the way for the realization of coherent circuits with minimal dissipation and nanodevices including analog-to-digital converters and topologically protected quantum bits.
We investigate transport and Coulomb drag properties of semiconductor-based electron-hole bilayer systems. Our calculations are motivated by recent experiments in undoped electron-hole bilayer structures based on GaAs-AlGaAs gated double quantum well systems. Our results indicate that the background charged impurity scattering is the most dominant resistive scattering mechanism in the high-mobility bilyers. We also find that the drag transresistivity is significantly enhanced when the electron-hole layer separation is small due to the exchange induced renormalization of the single layer compressibility.
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 elec tron 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.

Resistance, magnetoresistance and their temperature dependencies have been investigated in the 2D hole gas at a [001] p-GaAs/Al$_{0.5}$Ga$_{0.5}$As heterointerface under [110] uniaxial compression. Analysis performed in the frame of hole-hole scatter ing between carriers in the two spin splitted subbands of the ground heavy hole state indicates, that h-h scattering is strongly suppressed by uniaxial compression. The decay time $tau_{01}$ of the relative momentum reveals 4.5 times increase at a uniaxial compression of 1.3 kbar.
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 Ha as (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.
