Ballistic transport in AlAs two-dimensional electrons
Abstract
We report the observation of commensurability oscillations in an AlAs two-dimensional electron system where two conduction-band valleys with elliptical in-plane Fermi contours are occupied. The Fourier power spectrum of the oscillations shows two frequency components consistent with those expected for the Fermi contours of the two valleys. From an analysis of the spectra we deduce ml/mt=5.20.5 for the ratio of the longitudinal and transverse electron effective masses.
