Heterolayer mobility in the Bloch-Grüneisen range

Abstract

It is shown that, for two-dimensional heterolayer conduction at low temperatures, the phonon-scattering contribution to the reciprocal of the ohmic mobility has a Bloch-Grüneisen regime, for low enough temperatures T, in which the deformation coupling gives a term proportional to T7 and (for polar semiconductors) piezoelectric coupling gives a term proportional to T5. It is pointed out that there could be an intermediate temperature range with a slower T dependence. © 1984.
