ESO Imaging Survey: Infrared Deep Public Survey
This paper presents new J and Ks data obtained from observations conducted at
the ESO 3.5m New Technology Telescope using the SOFI camera. These data were
taken as part of the ESO Imaging Survey Deep Public Survey (DPS) and
significantly extend the earlier optical/infrared EIS-DEEP survey presented in
a previous paper. The DPS-IR survey comprises two observing strategies: shallow
Ks observations providing nearly full coverage of pointings with complementary
multi-band optical data and deeper J and Ks observations of the central parts
of these fields. The DPS-IR survey provides a coverage of roughly 2.1 square
degrees in Ks with 0.63 square degrees to fainter magnitudes and also covered
in J, over three independent regions of the sky. The goal of the present paper
is to describe the observations, the data reduction procedures, and to present
the final survey products. The astrometric solution with an estimated accuracy
of <0.15" is based on the USNO catalog. The final stacked images presented here
number 89 and 272, in J and Ks, respectively, the latter reflecting the larger
surveyed area. The J and Ks images were taken with a median seeing of 0.77" and
0.8". The images reach a median 5sigma limiting magnitude of J_AB~23.06 in an
aperture of 2", while the corresponding limiting magnitude in Ks_AB is ~21.41
and ~22.16 mag for the shallow and deep strategies. Overall, the observed
limiting magnitudes are consistent with those originally proposed. The quality
of the data has been assessed by comparing the measured magnitude of sources at
the bright end directly with those reported by the 2MASS survey and at the
faint end by comparing the counts of galaxies and stars with those of other
surveys to comparable depth and to model predictions. The final science-grade
catalogs and images are available at CDS.Comment: Accepted for publication in A&A, 14 pages, 8 figures, a full

MagnetoâHall characterization of deltaâdoped pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor structures
Magneto-Hall Characterization of Delta-Doped Pseudomorphic High-Electron-Mobility Transistor Structures
Conventional Hallâeffect determination of the twoâdimensional electron gas (2DEG) concentration n2D in pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor structures is invalid because of interference from the highly doped GaAs cap. Furthermore, the usual methods of dealing with this capâinterference problem, namely, (1) etching off the cap totally, (2) etching the cap until the mobility reaches a maximum, or (3) growing a separate structure with a thin, depleted cap, in general, give n2D values that are too low. However, we show here that magneticâfieldâdependent Hall (MâHall) measurements can separately determine the carrier concentrations and mobilities in the cap and 2DEG regions, as verified by comparison with a selfâconsistent, fourâband, kâ
p calculation and also by electrochemical capacitanceâvoltage measurements in structures with different cap and spacer thicknesses
