The detailed quantitative theory of electron-electron scattering processes
in 2D electron degenerated systems in GaAs(AlGaAs) heterostructures has bee
n developed on the basis of analytical treatment and numerical calculations
. We have found the conditions and intervals of values of the characteristi
c parameters in which specific properties of 2D relaxation predicted previo
usly on the theoretical. level manifest themselves. New effects, i.e. a sec
ondary beam of electrons scattered back and a very narrow beam of holes mov
ing: in the direction of injection, have been found. (C)1999 Acta Metallurg
