Electron - Electron interaction effects in quantum hall regime of GaN/AlGaN heterostructures

Abstract

We measured the activation of resistivity at quantum Hall minima in high mobility two-dimensional electron gas confined at AlGaN/GaN interface. The effective g-factor and effective mass was deduced. The electron-electron interactions modify both quantities compared to their bare band values. It is found that the influence of interactions is much more pronounced onto g-factor than effective mass. The relative spin susceptibility was also calculated and compared with available theories. The best agreement was found with the ideal two-dimensional gas model in random phase approximation.
