摘要
Longitudinal rho(xx)(B) and Hall rho(xy)(B) magnetoresistances are experimentally investigated as a function of in-plane and transverse magnetic fields in n-InGaAs/GaAs nanostructures with strongly-coupled double quantum wells in the temperature range T = 1.8-70 K and magnetic fields B = 0-9.0 T. Experimental data on the temperature dependence of quantum lifetime in diffusive (k(B)T/tau(tr) << 1) and ballistic (k(B)T/tau(tr) >> 1) regimes are reported. It has been found that in the ballistic regime in the temperature range where k(B)T/E-F < 0.1, the observed quadratic temperature dependence of quantum lifetime is determined by inelastic electron-electron scattering. However, the temperature dependence of quantum lifetime cannot be quantitatively described by the existing theories in the whole temperature range. (C) 2013 American Institute of Physics.
