摘要
We have performed transport experiments on two-dimensional electron gases in a GaAsAl0.3Ga0.7As heterostructure containing InAs self-assembled quantum dots in close proximity to the heterointerface. We find that the dots act as repulsive scatterers and dominate the mobility. In the samples with the highest dot density, we find a metal-insulator transition, which differs from such transitions in other samples in several respects.
