The temperature and magnetic field dependences of the conductivity of the heterostructures with asymmetric In$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$As quantum well are studied. It is shown that the metallic-like temperature dependence of the conductivity observed in the structures investigated is quantitatively understandable within the whole temperature range, $T=0.4-20$ K. It is caused by the interference quantum correction at fast spin relaxation for 0.4 K$ < T < 1.5$ K. At higher temperatures, 1.5 K$<T<4$ K, it is due to the interaction quantum correction. Finally, at $T>4-6$ K, the metallic-like behavior is determined by the phonon scattering.

Two-dimensional electron or hole systems in semiconductors offer the unique opportunity to investigate the physics of strongly interacting fermions. We have measured the 1/f resistance noise of two-dimensional hole systems in high mobility GaAs quant um wells, at densities below that of the metal-insulator transition (MIT) at zero magnetic field. Two techniques voltage and current fluctuations were used. The normalized noise power SR/R2 increases strongly when the hole density or the temperature are decreased. The temperature dependence is steeper at the lowest densities. This contradicts the predictions of the modulation approach in the strong localization hopping transport regime. The hypothesis of a second order phase transition or percolation transition at a density below that of the MIT is thus reinforced.
We have studied the magnetotransport properties of a high mobility two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) system in a 10nm GaAs quantum well (QW) with densities in range of 0.7-1.6*10^10 cm^-2 on the metallic side of the zero-field metal-insulator transitio n (MIT). In a parallel field well above B_c that suppresses the metallic conductivity, the 2DHG exhibits a conductivity g(T)~0.3(e^2/h)lnT reminiscent of weak localization. The experiments are consistent with the coexistence of two phases in our system: a metallic phase and a weakly insulating Fermi liquid phase having a percolation threshold close to B_c.

We have measured the resistance and the 1/f resistance noise of a two-dimensional low density hole system in a high mobility GaAs quantum well at low temperature. At densities lower than the metal-insulator transition one, the temperature dependence of the resistance is either power-like or simply activated. The noise decreases when the temperature or the density increase. These results contradict the standard description of independent particles in the strong localization regime. On the contrary, they agree with the percolation picture suggested by higher density results. The physical nature of the system could be a mixture of a conducting and an insulating phase. We compare our results with those of composite thin films.
The electron-electron interaction quantum correction to the conductivity of the gated double well Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$As/GaAs structures is investigated experimentally. The analysis of the temperature and magnetic field dependences of the conductivity te nsor allows us to obtain reliably the diffusion part of the interaction correction for the regimes when the structure is balanced and when only one quantum well is occupied. The surprising result is that the interaction correction does not reveal resonant behavior; it is practically the same for both regimes.

A five-level {Pp} model of the band structure for GaAs-type semiconductors is used to describe the spin $g^*$-factor and the cyclotron mass $m^*_c$ of conduction electrons in GaAs/Ga$_{1-x}$Al$_x$As quantum wells in an external magnetic field paralle l to the growth direction. It is demonstrated that the previous theory of the $g^*$-factor in heterostructures is inadequate. Our approach is based on an iteration procedure of solving 14 coupled differential {Pp} equations. The applicability of the iteration procedure is verified. The final eigenenergy problem for the conduction subbands is reduced to two differential equations for the spin-up and spin-down states of consecutive Landau levels. It is shown that the bulk inversion asymmetry of III-V compounds is of importance for the spin $g^*$-factor. Our theory with no adjustable parameters gives an excellent description of experimental data on the electron spin $g^*$-factor in GaAs/Ga$_{0.67}$Al$_{0.33}$As rectangular quantum wells for different well widths between 3 and 12 nm. The same theory describes very well experimental cyclotron masses in GaAs/Ga$_{0.74}$Al$_{0.26}$As quantum wells for the well widths between 6 and 37 nm.
