Study of transverse magnetoresistance oscillations ρxx(B) were performed for InAs/AlSb samples with different doping level at temperatures T=(4÷28)К. Based on test of magnetic field dependence amplitude ρxx(B) the formation dynamic of Landau quantization destruction was established. The components of the electron-electron and the electron-phonon interactions were marked out and the relaxation time τq(τee, τe−ph) was evaluated. On the base of physical model of electron interaction the role of electron-phonon relaxation was revealed as a factor, which stabilizes the process of Landau quantization destruction. Experimental nonlinear dependence τq(T) is explained by electron scattering by piezoelectric and deformation potential of acoustic phonons and channels competition inter-(intra-) subband scattering. Parametric dependence of quantum relaxation time from the magnetic field τq ∝ B−0.6 was established.
Keywords: 2D electron gas, relaxation time, electron-phonon interaction, magnetoresistance.
