Abstract

Measurements of the field and temperature dependences of static magnetic susceptibility demonstrate de Haas-van Alphen oscillations at high temperatures and low magnetic fields in sandwich nanostructures, which are represented by an ultranarrow p-type CdF2 quantum well confined by δ barriers heavily doped with boron on the surface of an n-type CdF2 crystal. The temperature dependences of the de Haasvan Alphen oscillation amplitudes indicate a small value of the effective mass of two-dimensional holes, as a result of which, the strong field assumption, μB ≫ 1, is fulfilled at high temperatures. It is for the first time that a periodic variation in the de Haas-van Alphen oscillation frequency is detected and is accompanied by a diamagnetic response as temperature is increased. This phenomenon manifests itself as synchronous temperature oscillations of the density and effective mass of two-dimensional holes as a result of the mesoscopic properties of δ barriers.
