Abstract

Measurements of commensurability oscillations in GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional (2D) hole systems grown on GaAs (311)A substrates reveal a remarkable anisotropy: the amplitude of the measured commensurability oscillations along the [2ˉ\bar{2}33] direction is about 100 times larger than along [011ˉ\bar{1}]. For 2D electron systems at similar interfaces, however, we observe nearly isotropic oscillations, suggesting that the anomalous anisotropy is intrinsic to GaAs 2D holes at the (311)A interface.
