在12~300K的温度范围内研究了InSb薄膜(利用MBE生长)的磁阻效应随厚度的变化关系.实验发现厚的InSb薄膜只能产生半经典(∝B2)磁阻效应.而减小薄膜厚度,在薄的InSb薄膜中会更容易出现弱反局域化效应,从而造成在低温下(〈35K)出现了一个异常的随温度增加而迁移率降低的趋势.我们发现该弱反局域化效应可用HLN模型拟合,证明了它可能来源于二维(2-D)体系,比如InSb的界面态.
We experimentally investigated the thickness-dependent magnetoresistance properties of InSb films in the temperature range of 12 x 300 K. The samples were grown on semi-insulating GaAs (100) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). It was observed that the thick InSb only can show the semi-classical B2 dependence magnetoresistance resulted from the Lorentz deflection of carriers. At the same time, we found that weak antilocalization (WAL) effect can be much enhanced by reducing the sample' s thickness ( with the thickness N 0.1 p,m). The thin sample' s WAL magnetoresistance plot can be well fitted by Hikan-Larkin-Nagaoka (HLN) model, which demonstrates that the obseved WAL effect for thin InSb is with a 2-dimension character, which can be associated with the surface/interface states of InSb.
