摘要
Magnetotransport measurements were performed on a series of AlxGa1-xN/GaN heterostructures with different Al compositions (x = 0.15, 0.20 and 0.30) at 4.2 K. Adopting a fast Fourier transform method, we analysed the Shubnikov de Hass oscillations due to the two-dimensional electron gas to derive the quantum scattering time (tau(q)). It was found that the quantum scattering time in the ground subband decreases with increasing Al composition: 0.194 ps (x = 0.15), 0.174 ps (x = 0.20) and 0.123 ps (x = 0.30), respectively. To discern the predominant scattering process, the scattering time limited by interface roughness, the residual impurity and the alloy disorder were investigated numerically by including inter-subband scattering. We found that enhanced interface roughness scattering dominates both the transport and quantum scattering time in the ground subband.
