摘要:

本文报道了亚开尔文温度下GaAs/AlGaAs异质结中低密度(10 $^{14}$ m $^{-2}$)介观二维电子系统(2DES)的热电势($S$)和电阻率($ρ_{2DES}$)测量。我们观察到在温度$\lesssim$ 0.7 K的线性增长的$S$作为温度的函数,表明金属样的行为。有趣的是,这种金属性不是德鲁德式的,显示出几个不寻常的特征:i)$S$的大小超过了在类似载流子密度下对非相互作用金属2DES有效的Mott预测超过两个数量级;和ii)在这种状态下的$ρ_{2DES}$比电阻量子$h/e^2$大两个数量级,并且显示出非常小的温度依赖性。我们提供的证据表明,这些意见出现由于新的准粒子的形成,在2DES是不电子的。最后,$ρ_{2DES}$和$S$在它们的密度依赖性中显示出有趣的解耦,后者显示出在电阻率中完全不存在的显著振荡和甚至符号变化。

英文摘要:

We report thermopower ($S$) and electrical resistivity ($ρ_{2DES}$) measurements in low-density (10$^{14}$ m$^{-2}$), mesoscopic two-dimensional electron systems (2DESs) in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures at sub-Kelvin temperatures. We observe at temperatures $\lesssim$ 0.7 K a linearly growing $S$ as a function of temperature indicating metal-like behaviour. Interestingly this metallicity is not Drude-like, showing several unusual characteristics: i) the magnitude of $S$ exceeds the Mott prediction valid for non-interacting metallic 2DESs at similar carrier densities by over two orders of magnitude; and ii) $ρ_{2DES}$ in this regime is two orders of magnitude greater than the quantum of resistance $h/e^2$ and shows very little temperature-dependence. We provide evidence suggesting that these observations arise due to the formation of novel quasiparticles in the 2DES that are not electron-like. Finally, $ρ_{2DES}$ and $S$ show an intriguing decoupling in their density-dependence, the latter showing striking oscillations and even sign changes that are completely absent in the resistivity.
