Plasma dispersion in a layered electron gas: A determination in GaAs-(AlGa) As heterostructures

Abstract
The dispersion of the plasma frequency of layered electron gases in GaAs-(AlGa) As heterostructures was determined by inelastic light scattering. The measured dispersions differ from that in two- and three-dimensional plasmas. They are linear in the in-plane component of the wave vector. This observation confirms predictions of theoretical models.
