Abstract

Resistivity measurements were made on low disorder gatable 2DEGs over a wide range of densities and temperatures. The resistivity data of high density 2DEGs agree quantitatively with both experimental and theoretical accounts of acoustic phonon scattering in GaAs. Thus, theoretical scattering calculations including both excellent qualitative agreement with the nonmonotonic features in the data. This agreement between experiment and theory in the metallic regime showed that the underlying physics involved was conventional Fermi liquid physics.
