dc.description.abstract | We studied the persistent photoconductivity (PPC) effect in AlxGa1−xN/AlN/GaNAlxGa1−xN∕AlN∕GaN heterostructures with two different Al compositions (x = 0.15x=0.15 and x = 0.25x=0.25). The two-dimensional electron gas formed at the AlN/GaNAlN∕GaN heterointerface was characterized by Shubnikov-de Haas and Hall measurements. Using optical illumination, we were able to increase the carrier density of the Al0.15Ga0.85N/AlN/GaNAl0.15Ga0.85N∕AlN∕GaN sample from 1.6×1012 to 5.9×1012 cm−21.6×1012to5.9×1012cm−2, while the electron mobility was enhanced from 9540 to 21 400 cm2/V s9540to21400cm2∕Vs at T = 1.6 KT=1.6K. The persistent photocurrent in both samples exhibited a strong dependence on illumination wavelength, being highest close to the band gap and decreasing at longer wavelengths. The PPC effect became fairly weak for illumination wavelengths longer than ∼ 530 nm∼530nm and showed a more complex response with an initial negative photoconductivity in the infrared region of the spectrum (λ>700 nm)(λ>700nm). The maximum PPC efficiency for 390 nm390nm illumination was 0.011% and 0.005% for Al0.25Ga0.75N/AlN/GaNAl0.25Ga0.75N∕AlN∕GaN and Al0.15Ga0.85N/AlN/GaNAl0.15Ga0.85N∕AlN∕GaN samples, respectively. After illumination, the carrier density could be reduced by annealing the sample. Annealing characteristics of the PPC effect were studied in the 20–280 K20–280K temperature range. We found that annealing at 280 K280K was not sufficient for full recovery of the carrier density. In fact, the PPC effect occurs in these samples even at room temperature. Comparing the measurement results of two samples, the Al0.25Ga0.75N/AlN/GaNAl0.25Ga0.75N∕AlN∕GaN sample had a larger response to illumination and displayed a smaller recovery with thermal annealing. This result suggests that the energy scales of the defect configuration-coordinate diagrams for these samples are different, depending on their Al composition. | en_US |
