Microwave detection of Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations in In0.53Ga0.47As/InP single quantum wells

Abstract
Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations in 150 Å single quantum wells of In0.53Ga0.47As/InP are detected without contacts, using a conventional electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer. The two‐dimensional properties of the signal are verified and the carrier concentration is deduced from the period of the oscillations. The effective mass m* = 0.041mo obtained from the temperature dependence of the amplitude of the oscillations confirms that the signal originates from the In0.53Ga0.47As quantum well.
