Abstract

Periodic modulation of a free two-dimensional electron system changes the bandstructure in which the electrons move. A weak modulation opens up small energy gaps in the free electron bandstructure while a strong, short-period modulation leads to the formation of well separated cosine-like minibands. We study transport in both cases using structures grown with the Cleaved-Edge-Overgrowth method. ...
