摘要: We have performed magnetoresistance measurements on n- and p-type modulation doped GaInNAs/GaAs quantum well (QW) structures in both the weak (B < 0.08 T) high magnetic field (up to 18 at 75 mK 6 K. observe that oscillations Hall effect (QHE) plateaus are affected from presence of nitrogen III–V lattice. The enhancement N-related scatterings electron effective mass with increasing causes lower mobility higher two-dimensional (2D) density, leading suppressed QHE up 7 T Shubnikov de Haas (SdH) develop fields for samples K amplitude SdH decreases composition. well-pronounced observed T, sample.
