摘要: The first in‐plane galvanomagnetic measurements on PbTe quantum wells are presented. samples were 70‐A‐wide sandwiched between lattice‐matched PbEuSeTe layers which have 500 meV gaps. has a 187 gap at 0 K. magnetoresistance and Hall effect measured from to 22 T 0.5 300 results can be explained if we assume that the modulation doped p type 3.7×1013 cm−2, there 3×1012 cm−2 highly mobile holes show Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations due splitting of size‐quantized subbands into Landau levels. influence illumination is also shown: up 1014 carriers with lifetime order 102 min photoexcited in structure.
