Embedding magnetic moments into semiconductor heterostructures offers a tuneable access to various forms of magnetic ordering and phase transitions in low-dimensional electron systems. In general, the moments are introduced artificially, by either doping with ferromagnetic atoms, or electrostatically con. ning odd-electron quantum dots(1-4). Here, we report experimental evidence of an independent, and intrinsic, source of localized spins in high-mobility GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures with large setback distance (approximate to 80 nm) in modulation doping. Measurements reveal a quasi-regular distribution of the spins in the delocalized Fermi sea, and a mutual interaction via the Ruderman - Kittel - Kasuya - Yosida (RKKY) indirect exchange below 100 mK. We show that a simple model on the basis of the fluctuations in background potential on the host two-dimensional electron system can explain the observed results quantitatively, which suggests a 'disorder-templated' microscopic origin of the localized moments.
