摘要
By numerical calculation the Fermi surface of two-dimensional (2D) holes at p-GaAs/AlxGal-x As heterointerface is found to become strongly anisotropic under the application of in-plane uniaxial compression. This uniaxial stress-induced anisotropy of the energy spectrum reveals in more that two times increase of 2D hole mobility anisotropy (at uniaxial compression about 5 kbar), that is experimentally detected in such heterostructures. It leads also to considerable anisotropy of far-infrared absorption spectrum; absorption of light with polarization perpendicular to the direction of compression is smaller that the absorption of light with polarization parallel to the direction of compression.
