Abstract:
A single impurity is used to probe the local density of states of a
two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a resonant tunneling experiment.
The studies have been performed in the GaAs/AlAs/GaAs system, with Si
donors incorporated into the AlAs layer, on submicrometer junctions.
The current-voltage characteristics clearly show peaks corresponding to
the formation of Landau levels. Moreover, additional fine-structure
superimposed on the Landau levels are resolved. Detailed magnetic field
studies suggest that those peaks reflect the single particle states of
the Landau levels. The surprisingly rapid shift of these additional
features in a magnetic field is reproduced in a model, which takes into
account disorder in the plane of the 2DEG.
