Absence Of Magneto-Intersubband Scattering In N-Type Hgte Quantum Wells
PHYSICAL REVIEW B(2002)
摘要
Magneto-intersubband scattering (MIS), which is a general feature in III-V semiconductor heterostructures with two occupied subbands, is demonstrated to be absent in both asymmetric and symmetric type-III HgTe quantum wells (QW's). The analysis of the temperature dependence of Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations and their fast Fourier transforms, together with the excellent agreement between the measured longitudinal resistivity and the calculated oscillations in the density of states in a magnetic field within the framework of an 8 x 8 k.p model, completely rule out the MIS effect. The absence of the MIS effect in HgTe QW's is ascribed to a much more complex and irregular Landau level alignment which suppresses the intersubband scattering rate. A natural consequence of the absence of MIS is that the Rashba spin splitting can be properly identified from the SdH oscillations in a perpendicular magnetic field and at a constant temperature, in contrast to the recent findings for InAs QW's.
