Abstract
So far we have dealt with the bulk properties of semiconductors and tacitly assumed that the crystal is extended infinitely. We will now briefly discuss the influence of the crystal surface and interfaces between semiconductors on the transport properties of semi-conductors. In particular, the effect of strong magnetic field at low temperatures on such a structure which led to the discovery of the Quantum Hall Effect, will be discussed.
