Experimental study of weak antilocalization effect in a high mobility InGaAs/InP quantum well
The magnetoresistance associated with quantum interference corrections in a
high mobility, gated InGaAs/InP quantum well structure is studied as a function
of temperature, gate voltage, and angle of the tilted magnetic field.
Particular attention is paid to the experimental extraction of phase-breaking
and spin-orbit scattering times when weak anti- localization effects are
prominent. Compared with metals and low mobility semiconductors the
characteristic magnetic field in high mobility
samples is very small and the experimental dependencies of the interference
effects extend to fields several hundreds of times larger. Fitting experimental
results under these conditions therefore requires theories valid for arbitrary
magnetic field. It was found, however, that such a theory was unable to fit the
experimental data without introducing an extra, empirical, scale factor of
about 2. Measurements in tilted magnetic fields and as a function of
temperature established that both the weak localization and the weak
anti-localization effects have the same, orbital origin. Fits to the data
confirmed that the width of the low field feature, whether a weak localization
or a weak anti-localization peak, is determined by the phase-breaking time and
also established that the universal (negative) magnetoresistance observed in
the high field limit is associated with a temperature independent spin-orbit
scattering time.Comment: 13 pages including 10 figure
Singular Fermi Liquids
An introductory survey of the theoretical ideas and calculations and the
experimental results which depart from Landau Fermi-liquids is presented.
Common themes and possible routes to the singularities leading to the breakdown
of Landau Fermi liquids are categorized following an elementary discussion of
the theory. Soluble examples of Singular Fermi liquids (often called Non-Fermi
liquids) include models of impurities in metals with special symmetries and
one-dimensional interacting fermions. A review of these is followed by a
discussion of Singular Fermi liquids in a wide variety of experimental
situations and theoretical models. These include the effects of low-energy
collective fluctuations, gauge fields due either to symmetries in the
hamiltonian or possible dynamically generated symmetries, fluctuations around
quantum critical points, the normal state of high temperature superconductors
and the two-dimensional metallic state. For the last three systems, the
principal experimental results are summarized and the outstanding theoretical
issues highlighted.Comment: 170 pages; submitted to Physics Reports; a single pdf file with high
