Abstract
Weak anti-localization of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a modulation-doped Al0.22Ga0.78N/GaN single heterostructure has been investigated through magnetoresistance measurements at low temperatures. The elastic scattering time τe, dephasing time τφ and spin-orbit scattering time τso at various temperatures are obtained. When the second subband in the triangular quantum well at the heterointerface is occupied by the 2DEG, the weak anti-localization is observed clearly, which is thought to be due to the strong spin-orbit effect induced by the intersubband scattering. The spin-orbit effect and the intersubband scattering become stronger with increasing temperature.
