摘要
Magnetoconductivity measurements are performed on a parabolic quantum well structure. The weak localization effect is observed at a low magnetic field for both single-subband and double-subband occupation regimes. Applying weak-localization theory, we have extracted the dephasing rate. The extracted dephasing rate increases with increasing conductivity in the small-energy-transfer regime and shows a similar trend as the electron density is increased in the large-energy-transfer regime. This is in conflict with Fermi-liquid theory, and cannot be attributed to electron-phonon scattering. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
