We report direct measurements of the valley susceptibility, the change of valley population in response to applied symmetry-breaking strain, in an AlAs two-dimensional electron system. As the two-dimensional density is reduced, the valley susceptibility dramatically increases relative to its band value, reflecting the systems strong electron-electron interaction. The increase has a remarkable resemblance to the enhancement of the spin susceptibility and establishes the analogy between the spin and valley degrees of freedom.
By using different widths for two AlAs quantum wells comprising a bilayer system, we force the X-point conduction-band electrons in the two layers to occupy valleys with different Fermi contours, electron effective masses, and g-factors. Since the oc
We measure the effective mass (m*) of interacting two-dimensional electrons confined to a 4.5 nm-wide AlAs quantum well. The electrons in this well occupy a single out-of-plane conduction band valley with an isotropic in-plane Fermi contour. When the
A magnetotransport study in magnetically doped (Cd,Mn)Te 2D quantum wells reveals an apparent metal-insulator transition as well as an anomalous intermediate phase just on its metallic side. This phase is characterized by colossal magnetoresistance-l
A Dirac electron system in solids mimics a relativistic quantum physics that is compatible with Maxwells equations, by which we anticipate unified electromagnetic responses. We find a large orbital diamagnetism only along the interplane direction and
We report measurements of the spin susceptibility in dilute two-dimensional electrons confined to a 45$AA$ wide AlAs quantum well. The electrons in this well occupy an out-of-plane conduction-band valley, rendering a system similar to two-dimensional
