Abstract

Shubnikov-de Haas and Hall measurements have been performed on singly delta doped GaAs(Si) structures, grown by molecular beam epitaxy, enabling us to study the effects of illumination and temperature upon bulk and individual subband, mobilities and carrier concentrations. In a highly doped sample, where the peak 3D electron concentration approaches 2×1019cm−3, we have observed novel changes in subband transport characteristics, not observed in the lower doped samples, which we attribute to the presence of DX centre phenomena. This paper explains the variations in individual subband transport properties due to a possible shift of the electronic wave functions contained in the potential well. This shift occurs due to a recombination-autoionization(R-A) process involving filled DX centres and free holes upon sample illumination at low temperatures.
