Abstract: The electronic properties of inversion and accumulation layers at semiconductor-insulator interfaces and of other systems that exhibit two-dimensional or quasi-two-dimensional behavior, such as electrons in semiconductor heterojunctions and superlattices and on liquid helium, are reviewed. Energy levels, transport properties, and optical properties are considered in some detail, especially for electrons at the (100) silicon-silicon dioxide interface. Other systems are discussed more briefly.

Effects of bulk charged impurities on the bulk and surface transport in three-dimensional topological insulators
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the disorder caused by the three-dimensionalally distributed charged impurities that are ubiquitous in TIs, and outline the effects it has on both the bulk and surface transport in the TIs.

Monte Carlo modeling of femtosecond relaxation processes in AlGaAs/GaAs quantum wells
TL;DR: In this article, Monte Carlo simulations of femtosecond relaxation of photoexcited electrons in AlGaAs/GaAs quantum wells are presented. But the effects of electron-electron, polar optical phonon, and intervalley deformation potential scattering are studied.

Nonlinear charge control in AlGaAs/GaAs modulation-doped FET's
TL;DR: In this article, a model for nonlinear charge control on modulation-doped field effect transistors (MODFETs) is proposed, which is based upon a one-dimensional numerical solution of Poisson's equation and the drift-diffusion equation.

Adiabatic Approximation of the Schrödinger--Poisson System with a Partial Confinement
TL;DR: Asymptotic quantum transport models of a two-dimensional electron gas are presented and the limit model, called the ``2.5D adiabatic model'', is shown to be a second-order approximation of the three-dimensional model.

Self-Consistent Equations Including Exchange and Correlation Effects
Walter Kohn,L. J. Sham +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Hartree and Hartree-Fock equations are applied to a uniform electron gas, where the exchange and correlation portions of the chemical potential of the gas are used as additional effective potentials.
Inhomogeneous Electron Gas
P. C. Hohenberg,Walter Kohn +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the ground state of an interacting electron gas in an external potential was investigated and it was proved that there exists a universal functional of the density, called F[n(mathrm{r})], independent of the potential of the electron gas.

Absence of Diffusion in Certain Random Lattices
TL;DR: In this article, a simple model for spin diffusion or conduction in the "impurity band" is presented, which involves transport in a lattice which is in some sense random, and in them diffusion is expected to take place via quantum jumps between localized sites.

Ordering, metastability and phase transitions in two-dimensional systems
TL;DR: In this article, a new definition of order called topological order is proposed for two-dimensional systems in which no long-range order of the conventional type exists, and the possibility of a phase transition characterized by a change in the response of the system to an external perturbation is discussed in the context of a mean field type of approximation.

New Method for High-Accuracy Determination of the Fine-Structure Constant Based on Quantized Hall Resistance
TL;DR: In this article, the Hall voltage of a two-dimensional electron gas, realized with a silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor, was measured and it was shown that the Hall resistance at particular, experimentally well-defined surface carrier concentrations has fixed values which depend only on the fine-structure constant and speed of light, and is insensitive to the geometry of the device.
