Abstract

We report low-field magnetoresistance measurements of a two-dimensional electron gas formed in a GaAs quantum well, in which half a monolayer of A1As has been inserted into the center of the well. A large anisotropy is observed in both the mobility and the low field magnetoresistance in the orthogonal [110] and [110] directions. We describe a method of using the anisotropic low field magnetoresistance to calculate the magnitude of the effective potential of the AlAs submonolayer at the GaAs/AlGaAs heterointerface.
