Combining experimental data, numerical transport calculations, and theoretical analysis, we study the temperature-dependent resistivity of high-mobility 2D Si MOSFETs to search for signatures of weak localization induced quantum corrections in the effective metallic regime above the critical density of the so-called two-dimensional metal-insulator transition (2D MIT). The goal is to look for the effect of logarithmic insulating localization correction to the metallic temperature dependence in the 2D conductivity so as to distinguish between the 2D MIT being a true quantum phase transition versus being a finite-temperature crossover. We use the Boltzmann theory of resistivity including the temperature dependent screening effect on charged impurities in the system to fit the data. We analyze weak perpendicluar field magnetoresistance data taken in the vicinity of the transition and show that they are consistent with weak localization behavior in the strongly disordered regime $k_Fellgtrsim1$. Therefore we supplement the Botzmann transport theory with a logarithmic in temperature quantum weak localization correction and analyze the competition of the insulating temperature dependence of this correction with the metallic temperature dependence of the Boltzmann conductivity. Using this minimal theoretical model we find that the logarithmic insulating correction is masked by the metallic temperature dependence of the Botzmann resistivity and therefore the insulating $log T$ behavior may be apparent only at very low temperatures which are often beyond the range of temperatures accessible experimentally. Analyzing the low-$T$ experimental Si MOSFET transport data we identify signatures of the putative insulating behavior at low temperature and density in the effective metallic phase.

We report on the observation of magnetic quantum ratchet effect in metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors on silicon surface (Si-MOSFETs). We show that the excitation of an unbiased transistor by ac electric field of terahertz radiation a
t normal incidence leads to a direct electric current between the source and drain contacts if the transistor is subjected to an in-plane magnetic field. The current rises linearly with the magnetic field strength and quadratically with the ac electric field amplitude. It depends on the polarization state of the ac field and can be induced by both linearly and circularly polarized radiation. We present the quasi-classical and quantum theories of the observed effect and show that the current originates from the Lorentz force acting upon carriers in asymmetric inversion channels of the transistors.
We demonstrate the injection of pure valley-orbit currents in multi-valley semiconductors and present the theory of this effect. We studied photo-induced transport in $n$-doped (111)-oriented silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors
at room temperature. By shining circularly polarized light on exact oriented structures with six equivalent valleys, non-zero electron fluxes within each valley are generated, which compensate each other and do not yield a net electric current. By disturbing the balance between the valley fluxes, in this work by applying linearly polarized radiation as well as by introducing a nonequivalence of the valleys by disorientation, we approve that the pure valley currents can be converted into a measurable electric current.
We report on the evolution of the coherent electronic transport through a gate-defined constriction in a high-mobility graphene device from ballistic transport to quantum Hall regime upon increasing the magnetic field. At low field, the conductance e
xhibits Fabry-Perot resonances resulting from the npn cavities formed beneath the top-gated regions. Above a critical field $B^*$ corresponding to the cyclotron radius equal to the npn cavity length, Fabry-Perot resonances vanish and snake trajectories are guided through the constriction with a characteristic set of conductance oscillations. Increasing further the magnetic field allows us to probe the Landau level spectrum in the constriction, with distortions due to the combination of confinement and de-confinement of Landau levels in a saddle potential. These observations are confirmed by numerical calculations.
We report on detailed room temperature and low temperature transport properties of double-gate Si MOSFETs with the Si well thickness in the range 7-17 nm. The devices were fabricated on silicon-on-insulator wafers utilizing wafer bonding, which enabl
ed us to use heavily doped metallic back gate. We observe mobility enhancement effects at symmetric gate bias at room temperature, which is the finger print of the volume inversion/accumulation effect. An asymmetry in the mobility is detected at 300 K and at 1.6 K between the top and back interfaces of the Si well, which is interpreted to arise from different surface roughnesses of the interfaces. Low temperature peak mobilities of the reported devices scale monotonically with Si well thickness and the maximum low temperature mobility was 1.9 m2/Vs, which was measured from a 16.5 nm thick device. In the magneto transport data we observe single and two sub-band Landau level filling factor behavior depending on the well thickness and gate biasing.
Metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) using atomic-layer-deposited (ALD) Al$_2$O$_3$ as the gate dielectric are fabricated on the Si/Si$_{1-x}$Ge$_x$ heterostructures. The low-temperature carrier density of a two-dimensional el
ectron system (2DES) in the strained Si quantum well can be controllably tuned from 2.5$times10^{11}$cm$^{-2}$ to 4.5$times10^{11}$cm$^{-2}$, virtually without any gate leakage current. Magnetotransport data show the homogeneous depletion of 2DES under gate biases. The characteristic of vertical modulation using ALD dielectric is shown to be better than that using Schottky barrier or the SiO$_2$ dielectric formed by plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor-deposition(PECVD).
