摘要
The two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) magnetoresistivity of a Si0.7Ge0.3/Si0.2Ge0.8 heterostructure in a wide range of temperatures T = 0.335-20 K and transport currents I = 100-50 muA is measured. In the vicinity of zero magnetic field, a sharp and positive in sign feature on smooth negative magnetoresistance is observed at the lowest temperatures. The amplitude of this feature quickly fades with increasing temperature and transport current. For the analysis of the experimental data the theory of weak localization for 2DHG is applied. The values of tau(so) and tau(tr) obtained are used for the first time to define zero magnetic field splitting in the hole energy spectrum for a Si0.7Ge0.3/Si0.2Ge0.8 heterostructure: Delta = 2.97 meV.
