摘要
The compressibility chi of dilute two-dimensional electron and hole gases in GaAs semiconductor structures has been studied in the ranges of the interaction parameter r(s) = 1-2.5 and r(s) = 10-30 for the electron and hole system, respectively. Nonmonotonic dependence of chi(-1) with an upturn at low carrier densities is observed. Despite the large difference in r(s) the behavior of chi(-1) in both systems can be accurately described by the theory of nonlinear screening of disorder by the carriers. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
