Measurement of effective mass in In0.9Ga0.1As0.22P0.78 by Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations

Abstract
The 0 K electron effective mass in an In0.9Ga0.1As0.22P0.78epitaxial layer has been calculated from the temperature dependence of Shubnikov–de Haas oscillation amplitudes, giving m*=0.060m 0. The measured value is compared to values m*=0.059m 0 and m*=0.058m 0 obtained from interpolations of the masses of related binary compounds by two different methods.
