✦ Synopsis
We use both Quantum Hall and Shubnikov de Haas experiments at high magnetic field and low temperature to analyse broadening processes of Landau levels in a δ-doped 2D quantum well superlattice and a 1D quantum wire superlattice generated from the first one by controlled dislocation slips. We deduce first the origin of the broadening from the damping factor in the Shubnikov de Haas curves in various configurations of the magnetic field and the measured current for both kinds of superlattice. Then, we write a general formula for the resistivity in the Quantum Hall effect introducing a dephasing factor we link to the process of localization.

The minibands of p-type δ-doping superlattices (SLs) in GaAs are studied in dependence on acceptor sheet doping concentrations N A and SL periods d. The calculations rely on effective mass theory, applied to the 8 valence band hole gas. Hole-hole interaction is selfconsistently taken into account, i
The interaction between electron excitations and LO phonons is studied by Raman scattering in δ-doping GaAs superlattices. The Raman spectra measured close to the E 0 + 0 resonance of GaAs present Fano-like coupling of the LO phonons with the quasicontinuum single-particle electron excitations. Due

We present the characterization of the band structure of GaAs/AlAs quantum-wire 1D superlattices performed by magnetophonon resonance with pulsed magnetic fields up to 35 T. The samples, generated by the 'atomic saw method' from original quantum-well 2D superlattices, underwent substantial modificat
