Abstract

Semiconductor structures allow a comprehensive range of experiments into the role of disorder on electronic transport /1,2/. Structures containing a 2D electron gas possess the advantage of having a variable carrier concentration, whereas in 3D systems the role of disorder is changed in situ by the application of compression or shrinkage of wavefunction by a magnetic field. The principal structures in this type of work are the inversion layer of the silicon MOSFET, heterojunctions in 111-V semiconductors (principally GaAs-AlGaAs) and the GaAs MESFET. The reader is referred to the Review article by ANDO et al /1/ for further details.
