We presented a theoretical study of the dependence of 2DEG mobility on temperature, barrier thickness, Al content, donor concentration to reveal the internal physics of 2DEG mobility in cubic AlGaN/GaNheterostructures. The 2DEG mobility is modeled as a combined effect of the scattering mechanisms including acoustic phonons, ionized impurity, dislocation, alloy disorder and interface roughness scattering.The variation of mobility results mainly from the change of 2DEG density and temperature. It reveals the dominant scattering mechanismsare dislocation and alloy disorder scattering atlow temperature.Acoustic phonons scattering becomes the major limit at 300k. Impurity scattering plays the key role when donor density rises. We find a maximum mobility with a structure of 25% Al content and 4-5nm barrier thickness.

Abstract The influence of two types of AlN/GaN interfacial non-idealities, namely unintentional Ga incorporation into AlN spacer and blurring of the spacer due to Al and/or Ga atomic diffusion on the mobility and density of two-dimensional electron gas in AlGaN/AlN/GaN heterostructure was studied theoretically. It was found that moderate amount of GaN in the nominal AlN spacer does not affect much the mobility and density of 2DEG as long as the interface is abrupt. In contrast, the blurring of AlN/GaN interface was found to have a significant impact on the mobility and sheet resistance of the structure since the GaN channel actually becomes AlGaN and alloy-disorder scattering takes place.

We investigate correlation and magnetic field effects on the mobility and resistivity of a quasi-two-dimensional electron gas in an InP/In\(_{1 - x}\)Ga\(_{x}\)As/InP quantum well at arbitrary temperatures. We study the dependence of the mobility and resistivity on the carrier density, magnetic field, layer thickness and temperature for alloy disorder and impurity scattering using different approximations for the local-field correction. Multiple scattering effects and discuss the possibility of a metal-insulator transition, which might happen at low density for unpolarized and fully polarized electron gas are also considered.
