Magnetotransport properties of a polarization-doped three-dimensional electron slab

Materials Science 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

We present evidence of strong Shubnikov-de-Haas magnetoresistance oscillations in a polarization-doped degenerate three-dimensional electron slab in an Alx_{x}Ga1x_{1-x}N semiconductor system. The degenerate free carriers are generated by a novel technique by grading a polar alloy semiconductor with spatially changing polarization. Analysis of the magnetotransport data enables us to extract an effective mass of m=0.19m0m^{\star}=0.19 m_{0} and a quantum scattering time of τq=0.3ps\tau_{q}= 0.3 ps. Analysis of scattering processes helps us extract an alloy scattering parameter for the Alx_{x}Ga1x_{1-x}N material system to be V0=1.8eVV_{0}=1.8eV.
