Abstract
Quantum wells composed of type-II heterojunctions of InAs-Ga(Al)Sb(As) ternary alloys have been prepared by molecular beam epitaxy as an extension of the binary InAs-GaSb. By increasing the alloy compositions, the nature of the conduction changes from semimetal-like to that of a single carrier. For the semimetallic quantum wells, the magneto-transport behaviors reflect the change in carrier densities, leading to the annihilation of holes at high magnetic fields.
