摘要
Electron and hole transport in compensated InGaAsN (approximate to 2% N) are examined through Hall mobility, photoconductivity, and solar cell photoresponse measurements. Short minority carrier diffusion lengths, photoconductive-response spectra, and doping dependent, thermally activated Hall mobilities reveal a broad distribution of localized states. At this stage of development, lateral carrier transport appears to be limited by large scale (much greater than mean free path) material inhomogeneities, not a random alloy-induced mobility edge.
