Jl. Pearson et al., HOPPING IN PSEUDOMORPHIC INGAAS HEMTS - A FLUCTUATION DOMINATED SYSTEM, Physica status solidi. b, Basic research, 205(1), 1998, pp. 135-139
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.
