The temporal dynamics of impurity photoconductivity in quantum wells in GaAs

摘要

A theory of cascade capture at charged donors in quantum wells (QWs) is developed without using the Fokker-Planck approximation, which is not valid in QWs. The time dependences of impurity photoconductivity and photoelectron concentration in GaAs QWs are determined. The cascade capture time as a function of the charge donor concentration is calculated.
