  • Effect of electron–electron interaction on magnitude of quantum oscillations of dissipative resistance in magnetic fields
Title: Effect of electron–electron interaction on magnitude of quantum oscillations of dissipative resistance in magnetic fields
Magneto-intersubband resistance oscillations (MISOs) of highly mobile 2D electrons in symmetric GaAs quantum wells with two populated subbands are studied in magnetic fields [Formula: see text] tilted from the normal to the 2D electron layer at different temperatures [Formula: see text]. The in-plane component ([Formula: see text]) of the field [Formula: see text] induces magnetic entanglement between subbands, leading to beating in oscillating density of states (DOS) and to MISO suppression. Model of the MISO suppression is proposed. Within the model, a comparison of MISO amplitude in the entangled and disentangled ([Formula: see text]) 2D systems yields both difference frequency of DOS oscillations, [Formula: see text], and strength of the electron–electron interaction, described by parameter [Formula: see text], in the 2D system. These properties are analyzed using two methods, yielding consistent but not identical results for both [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The analysis reveals an additional angular dependent factor of MISO suppression. The factor is related to spin splitting of quantum levels in magnetic fields.  more » « less

    Observation of intrinsic quantum transport properties of two-dimensional (2D) topological semimetals can be challenging due to suppression of high mobility caused by extrinsic factors introduced during fabrication. We demonstrate current annealing as a method to substantially improve electronic transport properties of 2D topological semimetal flakes. Contact resistance and resistivity were improved by factors up to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively, in devices based on exfoliated flakes of two topological semimetals, ZrSiSe and BaMnSb 2 . Using this method, carrier mobility in ZrSiSe was improved by a factor of 3800, resulting in observation of record-high mobility for exfoliated ZrSiSe. Quantum oscillations in annealed ZrSiSe appeared at magnetic fields as low as 5 T, and magnetoresistance increased by a factor of 10 4 . We argue that a thermal process underlies this improvement. Finally, Raman spectroscopy and analysis of quantum oscillations in ZrSiSe indicate that the phonon modes and Fermi surface area are unchanged by current annealing.

    The strong spin–orbit coupling (SOC) in lead halide perovskites, when inversion symmetry is lifted, has provided opportunities for investigating the Rashba effect in these systems. Moreover, the strong orbital moment, which, in turn, impacts the spin-pair in singlet and triplet electronic states, plays a significant role in enhancing the optoelectronic properties in the presence of external magnetic fields in lead halide perovskites. Here, we investigate the effect of weak magnetic fields (<1 T) on the photoluminescence (PL) properties of [Formula: see text] nanocrystals with and without Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) faults and single crystals of [Formula: see text]. Along with an enhancement in the PL intensity as a function of an external magnetic field, which is observed in both lead bromide perovskites, the PL emission red-shifts in [Formula: see text] nanocrystals. Density-functional theory calculations of the electronic band-edge in [Formula: see text] show almost no change in the energy gap as a function of the external magnetic field. The experimental results, thus, suggest the role of mixing of the triplet and singlet excitonic states under weak magnetic fields. This is further deduced from an enhancement in PL lifetimes as a function of the field in [Formula: see text]. In [Formula: see text], an increase in PL intensity is observed under weak magnetic fields; however, no changes in the peak energy or PL lifetimes are observed. The internal magnetic fields due to SOC are characterized for all three samples and found to be the highest for [Formula: see text] nanocrystals with RP faults.

    We report on an all-optical investigation of coupled spin excitation modes in a series of magnetic trilayer structures. Using time-resolved magneto-optic Kerr effect (tr-MOKE) magnetometry, we observe multi-mode coherent spin excitations in [Formula: see text]/Ru/[Formula: see text] multilayers even though the tr-MOKE optical detection is sensitive only to the [Formula: see text] magnetization dynamics. Frequency shifts of the different modes indicate that the coupling between the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] layers varies from anti-ferromagnetic to ferromagnetic to uncoupled as the Ru spacer layer thickness is increased from 8 Å to 200 Å. The lifetime of the high frequency coherent oscillations in the [Formula: see text] layer increases by over 200%–300% even in the case of uncoupled [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] layers with a 200 Å thick Ru spacer. The results suggest an additional method to decrease the damping of high-moment alloys in layered magnetic nanostructures.

    We report on the free charge carrier properties of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in an AlN/Al x Ga 1– x N high electron mobility transistor structure with a high aluminum content ( x =  0.78). The 2DEG sheet density [Formula: see text] cm −2 , sheet mobility [Formula: see text] cm 2 /(Vs), sheet resistance [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text], and effective mass [Formula: see text] at low temperatures [Formula: see text] are determined by terahertz (THz) optical Hall effect measurements. The experimental 2DEG mobility in the channel is found within the expected range, and the sheet carrier density is in good agreement with self-consistent Poisson–Schrödinger calculations. However, a significant increase in the effective mass of 2DEG electrons at low temperatures is found in comparison with the respective value in bulk Al 0.78 Ga 22 N ([Formula: see text]). Possible mechanisms for the enhanced 2DEG effective mass parameter are discussed and quantified using self-consistent Poisson–Schrödinger calculations.

    We prove that discrete compact quantum groups (or more generally locally compact, under additional hypotheses) with coamenable dual are continuous fields over their central closed quantum subgroups, and the same holds for free products of discrete quantum groups with coamenable dual amalgamated over a common central subgroup. Along the way we also show that free products of continuous fields of [Formula: see text]-algebras are again free via a Fell-topology characterization for [Formula: see text]-field continuity, recovering a result of Blanchard’s in a somewhat more general setting.
