We report observation of magneto-electric photocurrent generated via direct inter-band transitions in an InGaAs/InAlAs two-dimensional electron gas excited by a linearly polarized incident light.The electric current is proportional to the in-plane magnetic field which unbalances the velocities of the photoexcited carriers with opposite spins and consequently generates electric current from a spin photocurrent. The observed light polarization dependence of the electric current is explained microscopically by taking into account of the anisotropy of the photoexcited carrier density in wave vector space. The spin photocurrent can be extracted from the measured current and the conversion coefficient of spin photocurrent to electric current is estimated to be $10^{-3}$$sim$$10^{-2}$ per Tesla.

We designed and performed low temperature DC transport characterization studies on two-dimensional electron gases confined in lattice-matched In$_{0.53}$Ga$_{0.47}$As/In$_{0.52}$Al$_{0.48}$As quantum wells grown by molecular beam epitaxy on InP subst rates. The nearly constant mobility for samples with the setback distance larger than 50nm and the similarity between the quantum and transport life-time suggest that the main scattering mechanism is due to short range scattering, such as alloy scattering, with a scattering rate of 2.2 ps$^{-1}$. We also obtain the Fermi level at the In$_{0.53}$Ga$_{0.47}$As/In$_{0.52}$Al$_{0.48}$As surface to be 0.36eV above the conduction band, when fitting our experimental densities with a Poisson-Schrodinger model.

Converse effect of spin photocurrent and current induced spin polarization are experimentally demonstrated in the same two-dimensional electron gas system with Rashba spin splitting. Their consistency with the strength of the Rashba coupling as measu red from beating of the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations reveals a unified picture for the spin photocurrent, current-induced spin polarization and spin orbit coupling. In addition, the observed spectral inversion of the spin photocurrent indicates the system with dominating structure inversion asymmetry.
In a high mobility two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well we observe a strong magnetoresistance. In lowering the electron density the magnetoresistance gets more pronounced and reaches values of more than 300%. We observe t hat the huge magnetoresistance vanishes for increasing the temperature. An additional density dependent factor is introduced to be able to fit the parabolic magnetoresistance to the electron-electron interaction correction.
We report the observation of the resonant excitation of edge photocurrents in bilayer graphene subjected to terahertz radiation and a magnetic field. The resonantly excited edge photocurrent is observed for both inter-band (at low carrier densities) and intra-band (at high densities) transitions between Landau levels (LL). While the intra-band LL transitions can be traced to the classical cyclotron resonance (CR) and produce strong resonant features, the inter-band-LL resonances have quantum nature and lead to the weaker features in the measured photocurrent spectra. The magnitude and polarization properties of the observed features agree with the semiclassical theory of the intra-band edge photogalvanic effect, including its Shubnikov-de-Haas oscillations at low temperatures.
Hybrid lateral superlattices composed of a square array of antidots and a periodic one-dimensional magnetic modulation are prepared in $mathrm{Ga[Al]As}$ heterostructures. The two-dimensional electron gases exposed to these superlattices are characte rized by magnetotransport experiments in vanishing average perpendicular magnetic fields. Despite the absence of closed orbits, the diagonal magnetoresistivity in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic modulation shows pronounced classical resonances. They are located at magnetic fields where snake trajectories exist which are quasi-commensurate with the antidot lattice. The diagonal magnetoresistivity in the direction of the magnetic modulation increases sharply above a threshold magnetic field and shows no fine structure. The experimental results are interpreted with the help of numerical simulations based on the semiclassical Kubo model.
