Hole-hole interaction in a strained In$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$As two dimensional system

Abstract

The interaction correction to the conductivity of 2D hole gas in strained GaAs/In$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$As/GaAs quantum well structures was studied. It is shown that the Zeeman splitting, spin relaxation and ballistic contribution should be taking into account for reliable determination of the Fermi-liquid constant $F_0^\sigma$. The proper consideration of these effects allows us to describe both th temperature and magnetic field dependences of the conductivity and find the value of $F_0^\sigma$.
