In-plane hole effective masses in InxGa1−xAs/Al0.15Ga0.85As modulation-doped heterostructures

Abstract
We have determined the strain dependence of the in‐plane hole effective mass in pseudomorphic Inx Ga1−x As/Al0.15 Ga0.85As modulation‐doped heterostructures by low‐temperature Shubnikov–de Haas measurements. An effective mass equal to 0.18m0 is measured for x=0.2. The measured values are in good agreement with theoretical calculations.
