摘要
We report on the transport properties of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) confined in an AlGaN/GaN heterostructure grown by plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy on a semi-insulating GaN template prepared by hydride vapor phase epitaxy with a threading dislocation density of similar to5x10(7) cm(-2). Using a gated Hall bar structure, the electron density (n(e)) is varied from 4.1 to 9.1x10(11) cm(-2). At T=300 mK, the 2DEG displays a maximum mobility of 167 000 cm(2)/V s at a sheet density of 9.1x10(11) cm(-2), corresponding to a mean-free-path of similar to3 mum. Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, typically not observed at magnetic fields below 2 T in GaN, commence at B=0.6 T. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
