ABSTRACTTemperature-variable Hall and Shubnikov- de Haas effects have been used to study persistent photoconductivity in an AlGaN/GaN heterojunction. At liquid helium temperatures, the mobility in this structure was close to 55000 cm2/Vs. A blue GaN-based light emitting diode was used to illuminate the sample. This illumination resulted in a persistent photocurrent, which allowed us to vary the carrier density and study the dependence of the mobility on the carrier concentration. Exposing the sample to this light resulted in an increase in the carrier density. For small increases in the density, the mobility also increased. However, unlike in previous reports by other authors, extended illumination resulted in an increase in the density and a decrease in the mobility. The initial increase in the mobility is attributed to increased screening due to the increase in the carrier density, while the decrease in the mobility may be attributed to alloy scattering.

ABSTRACTPersistent photoconductivity (PPC) effect has been observed in p-type GaN epilayers grown both by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and reactive molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) as well as in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) system formed by an AlGaN/GaN heterostructure grown by MOCVD. Its properties have been investigated at different conditions.

ABSTRACTWe report on the persistent photoconductivity (PPC) effect in AlxGa1−xN/AlN/GaN heterostructures with two different Al compositions (x=0.15 and 0.25). The two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) was characterized by Shubnikov-de Haas and Hall measurements. At cryogenic temperatures under optical illumination, the 2DEG carrier density and mobility was enhanced. The persistent photocurrent in both samples exhibited a strong dependence on illumination wavelength.
