2D electrons

The carriers in tire channel of an enhancement mode device exhibit unusually high mobility, particularly at low temperatures, a subject of considerable interest. The source-drain current is carried by electrons attracted to tire interface. The ionized dopant atoms, which act as fixed charges and limit tire carriers mobility, are left behind, away from tire interface. In a sense, tire source-drain current is carried by tire two-dimensional (2D) electron gas at tire Si-gate oxide interface. 

This is the most common and stable state of chromium in aqueous solution. The Cr ion, with 2d electrons, forms mainly octahedral complexes [CrX ], which are usually coloured, and are kweticallv inert, i.e. the rate of substitution of X by another hgand is very slow consequently a large number of such complexes have been isolated (see below, under chromium(III) chloride). 

So, despite the very small diameter of the MWCNT with respeet to the de Broglie wavelengths of the charge carriers, the cylindrical structure of the honeycomb lattice gives rise to a 2D electron gas for both weak localisation and UCF effects. Indeed, both the amplitude and the temperature dependence of the conductance fluctuations were found to be consistent with the universal conductance fluctuations models for mesoscopic 2D systems applied to the particular cylindrical structure of MWCNTs [10]. 

Graphite possesses highly anisotropic layered crystal structure, which translates to a quasi-2D electronic structure with electronic bands dispersing linearly near Ep and forming point-like Fermi surfaces. Visible light induces...

The CSN is composed of eight subunits called CSNl to CSN8, which are highly conserved in eukaryotes, although only six of them occur in fission yeast. Two hybrid screens and biochemical methods such as far westerns, pull downs and coprecipitation defined a number of CSN subunit-subunit interactions. Figure 13.1 illustrates known subunit-subunit interactions. Initial insight into the architecture of CSN came from the first 2D electron microscopic analysis of purified CSN from human red blood cells [19] (see also Figure 13.2 below).

The neutral insulator TMTSF, which shows field-effect conduction with /Th — 0.2 cm s (Nam et al, 2003), when transformed into a Bechgaard salt also becomes superconducting, but at lower temperatures. In this case the perfect segregation of organic and inorganic molecular planes leads to confined electronic systems, which in the normal state are quasi ID. Organic superconductors based on the BEDT-TTF molecule represent the case of pure 2D electronic systems. 

All the above-listed experiments were interpreted as SIT in two-dimensional (2D) electron systems. This interpretation for those systems where the growth of the resistance was comparatively trifling was based on scaling hypothesis [8] which asserts that there is no non-superconducting metallic state at zero temperature in 2D. Hence any state of a film which does not display tendency to become superconducting, i.e. which has negative derivative dR/dT < 0, should be accepted as insulating. 

An interesting manifestation of the SO coupling is the electric dipole spin resonance, where spin-flip transitions are caused by the electric field of an electromagnetic wave [28]. Let us consider a response of a 2D electron gas in a magnetic held H 2 to a relatively weak external electromagnetic (EM)... 

Abstract. Clean metal surfaces often display an atomic arrangement at the surface that differs from the one in the bulk. Some of these surface reconstructions show mesoscopic order and are very adequate to act as a template for the ordered growth of arrays of atoms, molecules or clusters. The electronic states at some surfaces can be prototypes of highly dense 2D electron gases where a number of fundamental properties can be addressed in detail. Localized surface states, on the other hand, are relevant in chemical processes at surfaces. The recent developments in experimental and theoretical techniques allow the exploration of these issues with unprecedented precision. 

The 2D electron gas of the Shockley-type surface states plays also an important role in the substrate mediated interaction between adsorbed atoms. 

We first discuss atomic and molecular superlattices which are stabilized by interactions due to electronic screening in a two-dimensional (2D) electron gas of a surface state. In this case the perfect lattice distance represents a shallow minimum in total energy. Diffusion has to be activated to reach this minimum however, it also creates Brownian motion... 

We can easily construct the 2D electronic model with the exact ground state which is analogous to the Shastry - Sutherland model [36] (Fig. 14). The Hamiltonian of this model is ... 

The spin transistor as represented in Fig. 34 is a vertical spin transistor. Figure 35 is a schematic picture of a lateral spin transistor as originally proposed by Datta and Das [179]. In this case, a iron emitter injects spins into a 2D electron gas. A Schottky gate can rotate the spin polarization by the Rashba effect, and another iron analyzer detects transmitted spin polarized current. 

In contrast to the Bechgaard salts which are quasi-lD, the ET materials are characterized by their two-dimensional (2D) electronic structure. In both salts the electronic bands are formed by the overlapping molecular tt orbitals. Along certain directions the distances between either Se-Se or S-S is less than the van der Waals radii of 3.96 A or 3.6 A, respectively. Within the ET compoimds many different ways of stacking of the ET molecules is possible. These polymorphic phases are denoted by a, / , k, 6, etc. and will be discussed in Sect. 2.3.1. 

While the dHvA frequency follows the expected behavior of 2D electronic systems smoothly the angular dependence of the dHvA amplitude reveals drastic and at first sight unexpected effects. For 0 = 26° the dHvA signal shown in Fig. 4.4 was observed. The same principal behavior was found for 0 = —26° [279]. Compared to the signal shown in Fig. 4.2 the amplitude of the signal is reduced by a factor of 8 and shows a double-peak-like structure. 

For a perfectly 2D material the usual assumption of a constant field independent chemical potential has to be revised. If in an increasing field the FS is just between two successive Landau levels the chemical potential has to shift with the Landau cylinders and finally jump back for increasing field to the next lower level. An analytical formula for the dHvA effect of a 2D electron gas taking into account finite temperature and fields is given in [326]. The applicability of this formula could not be tested quantitatively. Qualitatively, however, the predicted increased harmonic content and a drastically changed shape of the oscillations was observed.
