Phonon-induced magnetoresistance oscillations in a high-mobility quantum well
|
Abstract:
We examine the temperature dependence of acoustic-phonon-induced magnetoresistance oscillations in a high-mobility GaAs-based quantum well with conventional transverse and longitudinal phonon modes, using a model in which the temperature increase of the Landau level broadening or the single-particle scattering rate 1/τs is attributed to the enhancement of electron-phonon scattering with rising temperature. The non-monotonic temperature behavior, showing an optimal temperature at which a given order of oscillation amplitude exhibits a maximum and the shift of the main resistance peak to higher magnetic field with rising temperature, is produced, in agreement with recent experimental findings.
