Modulation doped GaAs-AlGaAs quantum well based structures are usually used to achieve very high mobility 2-dimensional electron (or hole) gases. Usually high mobilities ($>10^{7}{rm{cm}^{2}rm{V}^{-1}rm{s}^{-1}}$) are achieved at high densities. A loss of linear gateability is often associated with the highest mobilites, on account of a some residual hopping or parallel conduction in the doped regions. We have developed a method of using fully undoped GaAs-AlGaAs quantum wells, where densities $approx{6times10^{11}rm{cm}^{-2}}$ can be achieved while maintaining fully linear and non-hysteretic gateability. We use these devices to understand the possible mobility limiting mechanisms at very high densities.

Electronically phase separated manganite wires are found to exhibit controllable metal-insulator transitions under local electric fields. The switching characteristics are shown to be fully reversible, polarity independent, and highly resistant to th
ermal breakdown caused by repeated cycling. It is further demonstrated that multiple discrete resistive states can be accessed in a single wire. The results conform to a phenomenological model in which the inherent nanoscale insulating and metallic domains are rearranged through electrophoretic-like processes to open and close percolation channels.
We have calculated the spin-polarization effects of a current in a two dimensional electron gas which is contacted by two ferromagnetic metals. In the purely diffusive regime, the current may indeed be spin-polarized. However, for a typical device ge
ometry the degree of spin-polarization of the current is limited to less than 0.1%, only. The change in device resistance for parallel and antiparallel magnetization of the contacts is up to quadratically smaller, and will thus be difficult to detect.
A blueprint for producing scalable digital graphene electronics has remained elusive. Current methods to produce semiconducting-metallic graphene networks all suffer from either stringent lithographic demands that prevent reproducibility, process-ind
uced disorder in the graphene, or scalability issues. Using angle resolved photoemission, we have discovered a unique one dimensional metallic-semiconducting-metallic junction made entirely from graphene, and produced without chemical functionalization or finite size patterning. The junction is produced by taking advantage of the inherent, atomically ordered, substrate-graphene interaction when it is grown on SiC, in this case when graphene is forced to grow over patterned SiC steps. This scalable bottomup approach allows us to produce a semiconducting graphene strip whose width is precisely defined within a few graphene lattice constants, a level of precision entirely outside modern lithographic limits. The architecture demonstrated in this work is so robust that variations in the average electronic band structure of thousands of these patterned ribbons have little variation over length scales tens of microns long. The semiconducting graphene has a topologically defined few nanometer wide region with an energy gap greater than 0.5 eV in an otherwise continuous metallic graphene sheet. This work demonstrates how the graphene-substrate interaction can be used as a powerful tool to scalably modify graphenes electronic structure and opens a new direction in graphene electronics research.
Single-Dirac-cone topological insulators (TI) are the first experimentally discovered class of three dimensional topologically ordered electronic systems, and feature robust, massless spin-helical conducting surface states that appear at any interfac
e between a topological insulator and normal matter that lacks the topological insulator ordering. This topologically defined surface environment has been theoretically identified as a promising platform for observing a wide range of new physical phenomena, and possesses ideal properties for advanced electronics such as spin-polarized conductivity and suppressed scattering. A key missing step in enabling these applications is to understand how topologically ordered electrons respond to the interfaces and surface structures that constitute a device. Here we explore this question by using the surface deposition of cathode (Cu/In/Fe) and anode materials (NO$_2$) and control of bulk doping in Bi$_2$Se$_3$ from P-type to N-type charge transport regimes to generate a range of topological insulator interface scenarios that are fundamental to device development. The interplay of conventional semiconductor junction physics and three dimensional topological electronic order is observed to generate novel junction behaviors that go beyond the doped-insulator paradigm of conventional semiconductor devices and greatly alter the known spin-orbit interface phenomenon of Rashba splitting. Our measurements for the first time reveal new classes of diode-like configurations that can create a gap in the interface electron density near a topological Dirac point and systematically modify the topological surface state Dirac velocity, allowing far reaching control of spin-textured helical Dirac electrons inside the interface and creating advantages for TI superconductors as a Majorana fermion platform over spin-orbit semiconductors.
We investigated experimentally non-equilibrium state of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in the quantum Hall effect (QHE) regime, studying the hysteresis of magnetoresistance of a 2DEG with a constriction. The large amplitude of the hysteresis e
nabled us to make the consistent phenomenological description of the hysteresis. We studied the dependence on the magnetic field sweep prehistory (minor loop measurements), recovered the anhysteretic curve, and studied the time dependence of the magnetoresistance. We showed that the hysteresis of magnetoresistance of a 2DEG in the QHE regime has significant phenomenological similarities with the hysteresis of magnetization of ferromagnetic materials, showing multistability, jumps of relaxation, and having the anhysteretic curve. Nevertheless, we revealed the crucial difference, manifested itself in an unusual inverted (anti-coercive) behavior of the magnetoresistance hysteresis. The time relaxation of the hysteresis has fast and slow regimes, similar to that of non-equilibrium magnetization of a 2DEG in QHE regime pointing to their common origin. We studied the dependence of the hysteresis loop area on the lithographic width of the constriction and found the threshold value of width $sim$1.35 $mu$m beyond which the hysteresis is not observed. This points to the edge nature of the non-equilibrium currents (NECs) and allows us to determine the width of the NECs area ($sim$0.5 $mu$m). We suggest the qualitative picture of the observed hysteresis, based on non-equilibrium redistribution of the electrons among the Landau level states and assuming huge imbalance between the population of bulk and edge electronic states.
