Temperature and size dependence of fractal MCF in semiconductor billiards

Fractal behaviour in the magneto-conductance fluctuations of mesoscopic systems has been predicted using semiclassical theory and observed experimentally in semiconductor billiards. Surface-gate billiards provide an ideal environment for investigations of fractal behaviour due to the ease with which...

Zusammenfassung:Fractal behaviour in the magneto-conductance fluctuations of mesoscopic systems has been predicted using semiclassical theory and observed experimentally in semiconductor billiards. Surface-gate billiards provide an ideal environment for investigations of fractal behaviour due to the ease with which parameters in the experimental system can be tuned. In this study we vary temperature and billiard size to investigate the classical and quantum limits of the semiclassical theory for fractal magneto-conductance fluctuations.
