摘要
The transient photoconductivity in a 1 mum layer of low temperature grown GaAs (LT-GaAs) on a GaAs substrate was measured using time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy. When photoexcitation occurs at 400 nm we find a time-dependent mobility that increases from 400 +/- 100 to 1100 +/- 100 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) with a time constant of 2 ps. Photoexcitation at 800 nm produces a time-independent mobility of 3000 +/- 500 cm(2) V-1 s(-1). We determine the carrier lifetime in LT-GaAs to be 1.1 +/- 0.1 ps.
