Abstract
We have studied electron transport in InGaAs-channel pseudomorphic HEM Ts at low temperatures. Mobility measurements in the metallic region s uggest that strong potential fluctuations limit the conductivity. Thes e also lead to distinctive hopping behaviour, characterised by a high temperature activated region and a relatively high conductance region at low temperatures which we ascribe to tunnelling between pools of el ectrons. There is no evidence for variable range hopping in the region studied.
