- Abstract
We calculate the mobility of the two-dimensional electron gas as realized in (110) AlAs quantum wells at zero temperature. In this structure the mass is strongly anisotropic which gives rise to an anisotropic mobility. By using a theoretical approach developed by Tokura [Phys. Rev. B 58, 7151 (1998)] we numerically calculate the anisotropic mobility. We study impurity scattering in quantum wells having an ellipsoidal Fermi surface. We find that increasing the electron density and/or the well width results in reduction of the anisotropy of the mobility while the anisotropy in the scattering time is increased. A strong dependence of the mobility anisotropy on the impurity position is predicted. Excellent agreement with a recently published experimental result is found under the assumption that impurities are located at the edge of the quantum well.
