The magneto-transport properties of an individual single crystalline Bi nanowire grown by a spontaneous growth method are reported. A four-terminal device based on an individual 400-nm-diameter nanowire was successfully fabricated using a plasma etching technique that removed an oxide layer that had formed on the surface of the nanowire. Large transverse ordinary magnetoresistance (1401%) and negative longitudinal ordinary magnetoresistance (-38%) were measured at 2 K. It was observed that the period of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in transverse geometry was $0.074^{T-1}$, $0.16^{T-1}$ and $0.77^{T-1}$, which is in good agreement with those of bulk Bi. However, it was found that the period of SdH oscillation in longitudinal geometry is $0.24^{T-1}$, which is larger than the value of $0.16^{T-1}$ reported for bulk Bi. The deviation is attributable to the spatial confinement arising from scattering at the nanowire surface boundary.

We have presented the electrical properties of the quantum wire fabricated by split gate on GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures by using the Shubnikov de Haas oscillation and quantum Hall effect measurements. We observed the 1D properties of the sample as increasing gate voltage. The misfit between quantum Hall plateau and minima in Shubnikov do Haas oscillations are interpreted as Landauer-B$"{u}$ tikker formula based on the edge state transport.port.

The effects of conduction band offset on 2 dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in N-InAlAs(AlAsSb)/InGaAs/InAlAs (AlAsSb) metamorphic heterostructures (MMHS) are studied. A combination of the Shubnikov-deHaas oscillations and the Hall measurements is used to investigate the electron transport properties of these structures. The mobility in the second subband is higher than that in the first subband in all heterostructures. This is attributed to the fact that electrons in the first subband we, on average, closer to the interface and are therefore scattered more strongly by ionized impurities. The results suggest that intersubband scattering rate is more dominant in structures with higher conduction band offset whereas alloy scattering is found to be more dominant in the higher band offset system.

We observed period of SdH oscillation in an individual Bi nanowire with the transverse and longitudinal magnetic fields along the axis of the nanowire grown by OFF-ON. Our results provide good qualitative description of the cyclotron behavior of the single-crystalline Bi nanowire in the ballistic regime.

the low temperature magnetoresistance effect, electron mobilities, and 2 Dimensional electron Gases (2DEG) properties were investigated in $Si/Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ quantum well devices. N-type $Si/Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ structures were fabricated by utilizing a gas source Molecular Beam Epitaxy (GSMBE). Thermal oxidation was carried out in a dry O atmosphere at $700^{\circ}C$ for 7 hours. Electron mobilities were measured by using a Hall effect and a magnetoresistant effect at low temperatures down to 0.4K. Pronounced Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations were observed at a low temperature showing two dimensional electron gases (2DEG) in s tensile strained Si quantum well. The electron sheet density (ns) of $1.5\times10^{12}[\textrm{cm}^{-2}]$ and corresponding electron mobility of 14200 $[\textrm{cm}^2V^{-1}s^{-1}]$ were obtained at a low temperature of 0.4K from $Si/Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ structures with thermally grown oxides.

The low temperature electron mobilities were investigated in Si/$Si_{1-x}Ge_{x}$ modulation Doped (MOD) quantum well structure with thermally grown oxide. N-type Si/$Si_{1-x}Ge_{x}$ structures were fabricated by a gas source MBE. Thermal oxidation was carried out in a dry $O_2$ atmosphere at $700^{\circ}C$ for 7 hours. Electron mobilities were measured by a Hall effect and a magnetoresistant effect at low temperatures down to 0.4 K. Pronounced Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations were observed at a low temperature showing two dimensional electron gases (2 DEG) in a tensile strained Si quantum well. The electron sheet density ($n_{s}$) of 1.5${\times}$$10^{12}$[$cm^{-2}$] and corresponding electron mobility of 14200 [$cm^2$$V^{-1}$$s^{-1}$] were obtained at low temperature of 0.4 K from Si/$Si_{1-x}Ge_{x}$ MOD quantum well structure with thermally grown oxide.
