Popis: This paper reports the fabrication of an in situ back-gated hole gas on the (311)A surface of GaAs. The hole density can be varied from fully depleted to ps = 2.1 × 1011 cm−2 with mobilities of up to μ = 1.1 × 106 cm2V−1 s−1. It is seen that for carrier densities down to ps = 4 × 1010 cm−2 the mobility in the [ 2 33 ] direction is greater than that in the [ 01 1 ] direction. Using a combination of front- and back-gates we are able to keep the carrier density constant and deform the hole gas wavefunction such that the holes are pushed up against or moved further away from the heterointerface. Thus we are able to separately investigate the various scattering mechanisms that determine the mobility, and compare the experimental data with theoretical calculations based on the shape of the wavefunction.
