We report Coulomb drag measurements on GaAs-AlGaAs electron-hole bilayers. The two layers are separated by a 10 or 25nm barrier. Below T$\approx$1K we find two features that a Fermi-liquid picture cannot explain. First, the drag on the hole…

In a two dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling, the external electric field may cause a spin Hall current in the direction perpendicular to the electric field. This effect was called the intrinsic spin Hall effect. In…
We consider a two-dimensional electron gas with long range disorder. Assuming that time reversal symmetry is broken either by an external magnetic field or, as in the case of a delta-correlated random magnetic field, by the disorder itself,…
