Surface and Interface Properties and the Quantum Hall Effect

  • Chapter
Semiconductor Physics

  • 555 Accesses

Abstract

So far we have dealt with the bulk properties of semiconductors and tacitly assumed that the crystal is extended infinitely. We will now briefly discuss the influence of the crystal surface and interfaces between semiconductors on the transport properties of semiconductors. In particular, the effect of strong magnetic field at low temperatures on such a structure, which led to the discovery of the Quantum Hall Effect, will be discussed.
