Research Abstract |
We carried out a systematic study of quantum oscillatory phenomena in triangular antidot lattices based on two-dimensional electron gas(2DEG) at semiconductor heterointerface. We have observed three different types of quantum interference effects, ---Altshuler-Aronov-Spivak(AAS) oscillation and Aharonov-Bohm(AB) type oscillation near zero field and another type of AB-type oscillation in the quantum Hall regime. We measured their temperature dependences, and elucidated the differences in the decoherence mechanisms. The gate bias dependence of the high field AB-type oscillation furnished information on the self-consistent screened potential formed around the antidots. We studied electron transport under spatial gradient of magnetic field in 2DEG quantum wire decorated with mesoscopic ferromagnetic wire, and found (1)asymmetric conduction and rectifying effect, (2)universal conductance fluctuation in spatially varying magnetic field, and (3)magnetic barrier effect in the quantum Hall regim

e. We have uncovered a novel magnetoresistance oscillation in short period unidirectional lateral superlattices, which occurred in the lower magnetic field range than the so-called commensurability oscillations. From the analysis of its dependence on the electron density and modulation period, we concluded that the phenomenon is due to geometrical resonance of open orbits with the modulation period. The open orbits are created by Bragg reflection from the lateral superlattice, so this is a clear demonstration of the mini-gap formation. We have also established the method to quantify the modulation amplitude at the 2DEG plane from the analysis of the commensurability oscillation of magnetoresistance. The Little-Parks oscillation of a superconducting wire network subjected to a spatially alternating magnetic flux pattern was investigated. The evolution of the oscillation pattern as a function of the amplitude of the alternation field and that of the uniform field was shown to agree well with the spectral edge of the corresponding Hofstadter butterflies.
