Quantum conductivity corrections in free-standing and supported n+ GaAs wires

Quantum conductivity corrections in free-standing and supported n+ GaAs wires
Quantum conductivity corrections in free-standing and supported n+ GaAs wires
Low temperature electrical and magnetoresistance measurements have been performed on free-standing and supported wires of n-type GaAs doped to 1017 / cm3 over the temperature range 0.47 - 4.2 K. These wires were triangular in cross-section, with widths of 600 - 900 nm and lengths of 3.2 -10 µm. We report that the observed increase in the resistance for temperatures below 4.2 K can be interpreted as being due to a combination of weak localisation and 3D electron-electron interaction effects. We will also show how the results described here can be used as the basis for a determination of the phonon conductivity and dimensionality in free-standing structures.

Abstract

Low temperature electrical and magnetoresistance measurements have been performed on free-standing and supported wires of n-type GaAs doped to 1017 / cm3 over the temperature range 0.47 - 4.2 K. These wires were triangular in cross-section, with widths of 600 - 900 nm and lengths of 3.2 -10 µm. We report that the observed increase in the resistance for temperatures below 4.2 K can be interpreted as being due to a combination of weak localisation and 3D electron-electron interaction effects. We will also show how the results described here can be used as the basis for a determination of the phonon conductivity and dimensionality in free-standing structures.
