研究目的
Investigating the effect of illumination on the quality of low-field magnetotransport under microwave irradiation and quantitatively assessing the effect of illumination on total (quantum) lifetime τq, which is a measure of electron-remote impurity scattering in GaAs quantum wells.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that low-temperature illumination significantly enhances the quantum lifetime of two-dimensional electrons in GaAs quantum wells, as evidenced by the pronounced growth of microwave-induced resistance oscillations. This enhancement is attributed to the light-induced redistribution of charge improving the screening capability of the doping layers. However, the exact mechanism and its implications for high-field transport characteristics require further investigation.
研究不足
The study is limited to GaAs quantum wells with specific doping schemes and does not explore the effect of illumination on other types of quantum wells or materials. The exact mechanism by which illumination improves the quantum lifetime is not fully understood, and the study does not conclusively determine whether the increase in quantum lifetime is the sole cause for the improvement in high-field transport characteristics.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study examines the effect of low-temperature illumination on microwave photoresistance in low magnetic fields using two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in GaAs quantum wells. The methodology involves measuring microwave-induced resistance oscillations (MIRO) before and after illumination to assess changes in the quantum lifetime.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Two samples (A and B) with 2DEG in GaAs quantum wells of different widths and AlxGa1?xAs barriers were used. Sample A had a 30 nm well width with x = 0.24, and Sample B had a 24.9 nm well width with x = 0.
3：24, and Sample B had a 9 nm well width with x = List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
28.
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Samples were cooled in liquid 3He inside a superconducting solenoid. Microwave radiation was delivered via a rectangular (WR-28) stainless steel waveguide. Longitudinal resistance was recorded using a standard low-frequency four-terminal lock-in technique under continuous microwave irradiation.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Both samples were illuminated by visible light at zero magnetic field for 10 minutes. Sample A was illuminated at base temperature followed by an annealing step, while Sample B was illuminated at a conventional temperature before cooling down in the dark. Resistance measurements were performed before and after illumination under microwave irradiation.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The Dingle analysis of MIRO was performed to quantify the increase in quantum lifetime. The reduced MIRO amplitude was analyzed as a function of the microwave frequency to extract the quantum lifetime.
