ABSTRACT A detailed analysis of the capacitance of gated GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs heterostructures is presented. The nonlinear dependence of the capacitance on the gate voltage and in-plane magnetic field is discussed together with the capacitance quantum steps connected with a population of higher two-dimensional gas subbands. The results of full self-consistent numerical calculations are compared to recent experimental data.

##### Article: Magnetocapacitance of a graphene monolayer
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present a theoretical study of magnetocapacitance in a graphene monolayer at finite temperature taking into account the effects of disorder. The density of states (DOS) and magnetocapacitance found for graphene are compared to those found in standard two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) systems. The magnetic oscillations in DOS and magnetocapacitance are found to be enhanced and much more robust with respect to temperature damping in monolayer graphene in comparison with a 2DEG. Furthermore, we find that there is a $\pi$ phase shift between magnetic oscillations in the two systems which can be attributed to Dirac electrons in graphene acquiring a Berry's phase as they traverse a closed path in a magnetic field.

• ##### Article: Magnetocapacitance of a MODFET under two-dimensional periodic potential modulation
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this paper we present calculations on the density of states (DOS) and the magnetocapacitance of the 2DEG in a MODFET under two-dimensional (2D) weak periodic modulation in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. Adopting a Gaussian broadening of magnetic-field-dependent width, we present explicit and simple expressions for the DOS, valid for the relevant weak magnetic fields and modulation strengths. As the modulation strength in both directions increase, beating patterns of the magnetocapacitance oscillations are observed in the low-magnetic-field range (Weiss-oscillations regime) which are absent in the 1D weak modulation case.

• ##### Article: Temperature dependence of the compressibility of two-dimensional electron systems with long-range potential fluctuations in the quantum Hall effect regime
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The temperature dependence of the compressibility of two-dimensional electron systems (2DESs) in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures in the quantum Hall effect regime have been studied both experimentally and theoretically. The compressibility was determined using the capacitance spectroscopy technique and the measurements of a low-frequency electric field penetrating through the 2DES. The measured temperature dependences of the 2DES compressibility are quantitatively described using a model taking into account inhomogeneity of the electron density at a finite temperature. Changes in the chemical potential of the 2DES in the vicinity of even filling factors determined from the capacitive and transport measurements are mutually consistent and agree with the results of finite-temperature calculations.
