Fermi-liquid behaviour of the low-density 2D hole gas in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure at large values of r_s

arXiv:cond-mat/0101195 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.86.4895

Abstract

We examine the validity of the Fermi-liquid description of the dilute 2D hole gas in the crossover from 'metallic'-to-'insulating' behaviour of R(T).It has been established that, at r_s as large as 29, negative magnetoresistance does exist and is well described by weak localisation. The dephasing time extracted from the magnetoresistance is dominated by the T^2 -term due to Landau scattering in the clean limit. The effect of hole-hole interactions, however, is suppressed when compared with the theory for small r_s.
