摘要
Three types of defects at the surface of InSb quantum well samples are identified: hillocks, square mounds, and oriented abrupt steps. The electron mobility in the quantum well correlates to the density of abrupt features, such that samples with a high density of anisotropic defects show anisotropy in the mobility. We propose that the dominant scattering mechanism associated with these abrupt features is a fluctuation in the quantum well morphology. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
