ABSTRACT

Two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) systems are constructed at

interfaces between two different materials, where electrons are

confined vertically within thin spaces and their energy levels

are quantized in the vertical direction. Since the energy spacings

become larger than the level broadening and the thermal energy

kBT , the electronic states in the vertical direction is discrete and has a standing-wave form. Therefore, electrons cannot move in that

direction and the transport is limited to two-dimensional layer.
