Unbiased (biased) illuminations are performed at low temperatures on dopant-free two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) at different depths in undoped GaAs/AlGaAs, while gates are kept grounded (held at a finite voltage, either positive or negative). Unbiased illuminations in 2DEGs located more than 70 nm away from the surface result in a gain in mobility (for the same electron density), driven by the reduction of background impurities. In 2DEGs closer to the surface, unbiased illuminations result in a mobility loss, driven by an increase in surface charge density. Biased illuminations performed with positive applied gate voltages result in a mobility gain, whereas those performed with negative applied voltages result in a mobility loss. The magnitude of the mobility gain (loss) weakens with 2DEG depth, and is likely driven by a reduction (increase) in surface charge density. Experimental results are modeled with Boltzmann transport theory, and possible mechanisms are discussed.

We have realized quantized charge pumping using non-adiabatic single-electron pumps in dopant-free GaAs two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs). The dopant-free III-V platform allows for ambipolar devices, such as p-i-n junctions, that could be combin
ed with such pumps to form electrically-driven single photon sources. Our pumps operate at up to 0.95 GHz and achieve remarkable performance considering the relaxed experimental conditions: one-gate pumping in zero magnetic field and temperatures up to 5K, driven by a simple RF sine waveform. Fitting to a universal decay cascade model yields values for the figure of merit $delta$ that compare favorably to reported modulation-doped GaAs pumps operating under similar conditions. The devices reported here are already suitable for optoelectronics applications, and with further improvement could offer a route to a current standard that does not require sub-Kelvin temperatures and high magnetic fields.
We demonstrate an efficient core-shell GaAs/AlGaAs nanowire photodetector operating at room temperature. The design of this nanoscale detector is based on a type-I heterostructure combined with a metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) radial architecture, i
n which built-in electric fields at the semiconductor heterointerface and at the metal/semiconductor Schottky contact promote photogenerated charge separation, enhancing photosensitivity. The spectral photoconductive response shows that the nanowire supports resonant optical modes in the near-infrared region, which lead to large photocurrent density in agreement with the predictions of electromagnetic and transport computational models. The single nanowire photodetector shows remarkable peak photoresponsivity of 0.57 A/W, comparable to large-area planar GaAs photodetectors on the market, and a high detectivity of 7.2 10^10 cmsqrt{Hz}/W at {lambda}=855 nm. This is promising for the design of a new generation of highly sensitive single nanowire photodetectors by controlling optical mode confinement, bandgap, density of states, and electrode engineering.
Dynamics of nonradiative excitons with large in-plane wave vectors forming a so-called reservoir is experimentally studied in a high-quality semiconductor structure containing a 14-nm shallow GaAs/Al$_{0.03}$Ga$_{0.97}$As quantum well by means of the
non-degenerate pump-probe spectroscopy. The exciton dynamics is visualized via the dynamic broadening of the heavy-hole and light-hole exciton resonances caused by the exciton-exciton scattering. Under the non-resonant excitation free carriers are optically generated. In this regime the exciton dynamics is strongly affected by the exciton-carrier scattering. In particular, if the carriers of one sign are prevailing, they efficiently deplete the reservoir of the nonradiative excitons inducing their scattering into the light cone. A simple model of the exciton dynamics is developed, which considers the energy relaxation of photocreated electrons and holes, their coupling into excitons, and exciton scattering into the light cone. The model well reproduces the exciton dynamics observed experimentally both at the resonant and nonresonant excitation. Moreover, it correctly describes the profiles of the photoluminescence pulses studied experimentally. The efficient exciton-electron interaction is further experimentally verified by the control of the exciton density in the reservoir when an additional excitation creates electrons depleting the reservoir.
We have fabricated AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure devices in which the conduction channel can be populated with either electrons or holes simply by changing the polarity of a gate bias. The heterostructures are entirely undoped, and carriers are instead
induced electrostatically. We use these devices to perform a direct comparison of the scattering mechanisms of two-dimensional (2D) electrons ($mu_textrm{peak}=4times10^6textrm{cm}^2/textrm{Vs}$) and holes ($mu_textrm{peak}=0.8times10^6textrm{cm}^2/textrm{Vs}$) in the same conduction channel with nominally identical disorder potentials. We find significant discrepancies between electron and hole scattering, with the hole mobility being considerably lower than expected from simple theory.
We report on the study of the linear and circular magneto-gyrotropic photogalvanic effect (MPGE) in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well structures. Using the fact that in such structures the Lande-factor g* depends on the quantum well (QW) width and has differe
nt signs for narrow and wide QWs, we succeeded to separate spin and orbital contributions to both MPGEs. Our experiments show that, for most quantum well widths, the PGEs are mainly driven by spin-related mechanisms, which results in a photocurrent proportional to the g* factor. In structures with a vanishingly small g* factor, however, linear and circular MPGE are also detected, proving the existence of orbital mechanisms.
