Magnetoelectric photocurrent generated by direct interband transitions in InGaAs/InAlAs two-dimensional electron gas.

چکیده
We report the observation of magnetoelectric photocurrent generated via direct interband transitions in an InGaAs/InAlAs two-dimensional electron gas by a linearly polarized incident light. The electric current is proportional to the in-plane magnetic field, which unbalances the velocities of the photoexcited carriers with opposite spins and consequently generates the electric current from a hidden spin photocurrent. The spin photocurrent can be evaluated from the measured electric current, and the conversion coefficient of spin photocurrent to electric current is self-consistently estimated to be 10(-3)-10(-2) per Tesla. The observed light-polarization dependence of the electric current is well explained by a theoretical model which reveals the wave vector angle dependence of the photoexcited carrier density.

Electron density effects in the modulation spectroscopy of strained and lattice-matched InGaAs/InAlAs/InP high-electron-mobility transistor structures
The effects of the channel electron density on the interband optical transitions of strained (x50.6 and 0.65! and lattice-matched (x50.53) InxGa12xAs/In0.52Al0.48As/InP high-electron-mobility transistor structures have been investigated by phototransmittance at room temperature. Analysis of the ground and first excited transitions for low and high densities, respectively, enabled a separate est...
متن کاملResonant phonon-assisted depopulation in type-I and type-II intersubband laser heterostructures
We show that LO phonon-assisted interband tunneling in type-II intersubband laser heterostructures is more efficient for the fast depopulation of the lower lasing states than the corresponding intersubband process in type-I double quantum wells (DQW). The main peak of the electron-phonon resonance in type-II DQW corresponds to electron transitions from the lowest electron-like subband to the to...

InAlAs/InGaAs/InP based high electron mobility transistor devices have been structurally and electrically characterized, using transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy and measuring Hall mobilities. The InGaAs lattice matched channels, with an In molar fraction of 53%, grown at temperatures lower than 530 °C exhibit alloy decomposition driving an anisotropic InGaAs surface roughn...
