The Ag-coverage dependence of the surface electron density strongly supports a simple model based on a surface donor level lying above the conduction band minimum. The observations of the quantized Hall resistance and zero longitudinal resistivity demonstrate the perfect two-dimensionality of the surface electron system. We also observed the Rashba effect due to the strong asymmetry of the confining potential well.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2005-07-07T01:04:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum hall effect", "cleaved semiconductor surface", "two-dimensional electrons", "observation", "electron system" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 3, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
