Two-dimensional electrons in an AlAs quantum well occupy multiple conduction-band minima at the X-points of the Brillouin zone. These valleys have large effective mass and g-factor compared to the standard GaAs electrons, and are highly anisotropic. With proper choice of well width and by applying symmetry-breaking strain in the plane, one can control the occupation of different valleys thus rendering a system with tuneable effective mass, g-factor, Fermi contour anisotropy, and valley degeneracy. Here we review some of the rich physics that this system has allowed us to explore.

The microwave-excited high mobility two-dimensional electron system exhibits, at liquid helium temperatures, vanishing resistance in the vicinity of B=[4/(4j+1)]Bf, where Bf=2πfm*/e, m* is an effective mass, e is the charge, and f is the microwave frequency. Here, we summarize some experimental results.
