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