Electron Localization in Sb-Doped Si/SiGe Superlattices

Millikelvin studies of in-plane magnetoconductance in short period Si/Ge:Sb superlattices have been carried out in order to examine the effect of anisotropy on quantum localization. The field-induced metal-to-insulator transition has been observed, indicating the existence of extended states. This suggests that despite anisotropy as large as D $\text{}_{∥}$/D$\text{}_{⊥}$ ≈ 10$\text{}^{3}$ the system behaves as 3D in respect of localization by disorder.
