Abstract

Magnetotransport properties of Al0.22Ga0.78N/GaN modulation-doped heterostructures have been studied at low temperatures and high magnetic fields. The inter-subband scattering of the two-dimensional electron gas was observed. The inter-subband scattering is very weak and depends weakly on temperature when temperature is between 1.3 K and 10 K and becomes stronger with increasing temperature when temperature is higher than 10 K. The strain relaxation of the Al0.22Ga0.78N layer influences the inter-subband scattering. It is suggested that the inter-subband scattering is dominant by the elastic scattering when temperature is lower than 10 K, and changes to be dominant by the inelastic scattering of the acoustic phonons when temperature is higher than 10 K.
