摘要:

采用一种基于离子注入的新型平面背栅方法,实现了对由两个相邻二维电子气(2DEG)组成的双层系统的精确控制。这种技术克服了传统设计中的一些常见问题,如2DEG迁移率差和栅极与量子阱之间的漏电流。已经制备和测试了具有和不具有单独接触的双层。调整一个层中的电子密度,同时保持第二个2DEG在固定的密度,人们观察到载流子浓度的急剧增加。这种隧道共振,它发生在两个层的密度相等,证明了分离的接触到每个单独的层。在具有较小隧穿势垒和平行接触的2DEG的另一个样品中,在高达12 T的磁场中在50 mK下研究了从单个2DEG到双层系统的转变,显示了在高磁场和非常低的温度下的栅极稳定性。在填充因子低于1/3的高场中,在各个层中观察到绝缘(维格纳晶体)相的转变。在我们的结构中,填充因子为1/5的分数量子霍尔液体的存在似乎是将电子限制在量子阱中而不是界面处的结果。所观察到的金属-绝缘体转变似乎几乎不受由仅3 nm厚的屏障分隔的第二层的存在的影响。我们相信,这种平面背栅设计有很大的希望产生可控双层适合调查的异国情调(非阿贝尔)相关状态的属性。

英文摘要:

The precise control of a bilayer system consisting of two adjacent two-dimensional electron gases (2DEG) is demonstrated by using a novel planar back-gate approach based on ion implantation. This technique overcomes some common problems of the traditional design like the poor 2DEG mobility and leakage currents between the gate and the quantum well. Both bilayers with and without separate contacts have been prepared and tested. Tuning the electron density in one layer while keeping the second 2DEG at fixed density, one observes a dramatic increase of the carrier concentration. This tunneling resonance, which occurs at equal densities of both layers, demonstrates the separated contacts to each individual layer. In another sample with a smaller tunneling barrier and parallel contacted 2DEGs, the transition from a single 2DEG to a bilayer system is investigated at 50 mK in magnetic fields up to 12 T, showing the gate stability in high magnetic fields and very low temperatures. Transitions into an insulating (Wigner crystal) phase are observed in the individual layers in high fields at filling factors below 1/3. The absence of a fractional quantum Hall liquid at filling factor 1/5 in our structure seems to be a consequence of confining the electrons in quantum wells rather than at interfaces. The observed metal-insulator transitions appear to be nearly unaffected by the presence of the second layer separated by a barrier which is only 3 nm thick. We believe that this planar back-gate design holds great promise to produce controllable bilayers suitable to investigate the exotic (non-abelian) properties of correlated states.
