We report the first Hall effect and resistivity measurements on strained-layer superlattices (SLS's) in the (In,Ga)As system. The samples, grown by molecular beam epitaxy, had 60 periods of alternating, 120-A-thick In/sub 0.2/Ga/sub 0.8/ As and GaAs layers. Both uniform-doped and modulation-doped structures (with Si donors) were studied. Low-temperature mobilities of over 3 x 10/sup 4/ cm/sup 2//Vs were obtained for structures with doping in only the central 30-A region of each GaAs layer. Our results are comparable to reported results on similar (Al,Ga)As superlattices, confirming that high crystalline quality can be obtained in SLS's with significant mismatch (approx.1.4%) and many interfaces (>100).
