The magnetoresistance components $rho_{xx}$ and $rho_{xy}$ were measured in two p-Si/SiGe/Si quantum wells that have an anisotropic g-factor in a tilted magnetic field as a function of temperature, field and tilt angle. Activation energy measurements demonstrate the existence of a ferromagnetic-paramagnetic (F-P) transition for a sample with a hole density of $p$=2$times10^{11}$,cm$^{-2}$. This transition is due to crossing of the 0$uparrow$ and 1$downarrow$ Landau levels. However, in another sample, with $p$=7.2$times10^{10}$,cm$^{-2}$, the 0$uparrow$ and 1$downarrow$ Landau levels coincide for angles $Theta$=0-70$^{text{o}}$. Only for $Theta$ > 70$^{text{o}}$ do the levels start to diverge which, in turn, results in the energy gap opening.

We report the results of an experimental study of the magnetoresistance $rho_{xx}$ in two samples of $p$-Si/SiGe/Si with low carrier concentrations $p$=8.2$times10^{10}$ cm$^{-2}$ and $p$=2$times10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$. The research was performed in the t emperature range of 0.3-2 K in the magnetic fields of up to 18 T, parallel to the two-dimensional (2D) channel plane at two orientations of the in-plane magnetic field $B_{parallel}$ against the current $I$: $B_{parallel} perp I$ and $B_{parallel} parallel I$. In the sample with the lowest density in the magnetic field range of 0-7.2 T the temperature dependence of $rho_{xx}$ demonstrates the metallic characteristics ($d rho_{xx}/dT>$0). However, at $B_{parallel}$ =7.2 T the derivative $d rho_{xx}/dT$ reverses the sign. Moreover, the resistance depends on the current orientation with respect to the in-plane magnetic field. At $B_{parallel} cong$ 13 T there is a transition from the dependence $ln(Deltarho_{xx} / rho_{0})propto B_{parallel}^2$ to the dependence $ln(Deltarho_{xx} / rho_{0})propto B_{parallel}$. The observed effects can be explained by the influence of the in-plane magnetic field on the orbital motion of the charge carriers in the quasi-2D system.

We perform detailed magnetotransport studies on two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) formed in undoped Si/SiGe heterostructures in order to identify the electron mobility limiting mechanisms in this increasingly important materials system. By analy zing data from 26 wafers with different heterostructure growth profiles we observe a strong correlation between the background oxygen concentration in the Si quantum well and the maximum mobility. The highest quality wafer supports a 2DEG with a mobility of 160,000 cm^2/Vs at a density 2.17 x 10^11/cm^2 and exhibits a metal-to-insulator transition at a critical density 0.46 x 10^11/cm^2. We extract a valley splitting of approximately 150 microeV at a magnetic field of 1.8 T. These results provide evidence that undoped Si/SiGe heterostructures are suitable for the fabrication of few-electron quantum dots.
We study DC and AC transport in low-density $p-$Si/SiGe heterostructures at low temperatures and in a broad domain of magnetic fields up to 18 T. Complex AC conductance is determined from simultaneous measurement of velocity and attenuation of a surf ace acoustic wave propagating in close vicinity of the 2D hole layer. The observed behaviors of DC and AC conductance are interpreted as an evolution from metallic conductance at B=0 through hopping between localized states in intermediate magnetic fields (close to the plateau of the integer quantum Hall effect corresponding to the Landau-level filling factor $ u$=1) to formation of the Wigner glass in the extreme quantum limit ($Bgtrsim 14$, $T lesssim 0.8$ K).
The valley degree of freedom presents challenges and opportunities for silicon spin qubits. An important consideration for singlet-triplet states is the presence of two distinct triplets, comprised of valley vs. orbital excitations. Here we show that both of these triplets are present in the typical operating regime, but that only the valley-excited triplet offers intrinsic protection against charge noise. We further show that this protection arises naturally in dots with stronger confinement. These results reveal an inherent advantage for silicon-based multi-electron qubits.
We present angle-dependent measurements of the effective g-factor g* in a Ge-Si core-shell nanowire quantum dot. g* is found to be maximum when the magnetic field is pointing perpendicular to both the nanowire and the electric field induced by local gates. Alignment of the magnetic field with the electric field reduces g* significantly. g* is almost completely quenched when the magnetic field is aligned with the nanowire axis. These findings confirm recent calculations, where the obtained anisotropy is attributed to a Rashba-type spin-orbit interaction induced by heavy-hole light-hole mixing. In principle, this facilitates manipulation of spin-orbit qubits by means of a continuous high-frequency electric field.
