2DEG SPECTROSCOPY WITH RESONANT TUNNELING THROUGH SINGLE IMPURITY STATE

We have used silicon impurities in an aluminum arsenide barrier to probe an adjacent two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). A single impurity acts as a local spectrometer and scans the local density of states of the 2DEG. Magnetotransport experiments have been performed at low temperature with a magnetic field B applied along the direction of the current. Current–voltage characteristics strongly depend on B and reveal the formation of Landau levels (LLs).
