Tunneling Between Two-Dimensional Electron Gases in a Weak Magnetic Field

Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We have measured the tunneling between two two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) in weak magnetic fields, when the carrier densities of the two electron layers are matched. At zero magnetic field, B=0, the lineshape of the equilibrium tunneling resonance is best fit by a Lorentzian, with a linewidth which is determined by the roughness of the tunnel barrier. For B0B\not=0 with filling factors ν1\nu\gg 1, there is a suppression of the resonant tunneling conductance about zero bias, Vsd=0V_{\text{sd}}=0. This low field signature of the high field Coulomb gap shows the same linear BB dependence as previously measured for ν<1\nu<1.
