18. P decreases less quickly when a back-gate (sample B3), rather than a front-gate (samples A and B1), is used to decrease n. This is consistent with the finite layer thickness effect. When we use a front-gate to reduce the density, the wave function gets thicker while the opposite is true when the back-gate is used.
