Title Direct measurements of energy relaxation times in two-dimensional structures under quasi-equilibrium conditions Type Conference Article
Year 2002 Publication (up) Mater. Sci. Forum Abbreviated Journal Mater. Sci. Forum
Volume 384-3 Issue Pages 107-116
Keywords 2DEG, AlGaAs/GaAs
Abstract A new microwave technique was successfully applied for direct studies of energy relaxation times in two-dimensional AlGaAs/GaAs structures under quasi-equilibrium conditions in the nanosecond and picosecond time scale. We report our results of energy relaxation time measurements in the temperature range 1.6-50 K, in quantum Hall effect regime in magnetic fields up to 4 T.

Title An on-chip near-field terahertz probe and detector Type Journal Article
Year 2008 Publication (up) Nature Photonics Abbreviated Journal Nature Photon
Volume 2 Issue 10 Pages 618-621
Keywords single molecule, terahertz, THz, near-field, microscopy, imaging, 2DEG, GaAs/AlGaAs, detector, applications
Abstract The advantageous properties of terahertz waves, such as their transmission through objects opaque to visible light, are attracting attention for imaging applications. A promising approach for achieving high spatial resolution is the use of near-field imaging. Although this method has been well established in the visible and microwave regions, it is challenging to perform in the terahertz region. In the terahertz techniques investigated to date, detectors have been located remotely from the probe, which degrades sensitivity, and the influence of far-field waves is unavoidable. Here we present a new integrated detection device for terahertz near-field imaging in which all the necessary detection components — an aperture, a probe and a terahertz detector — are integrated on one semiconductor chip, which is cryogenically cooled. This scheme allows highly sensitive, high-resolution detection of the evanescent field alone and promises new capabilities for high-resolution terahertz imaging.

Title Hot carrier energy loss rates in GaAs quantum wells: large differences between electrons and holes Type Journal Article
Year 1985 Publication (up) Phys. B+C Abbreviated Journal
Volume 134 Issue 1-3 Pages 174-178
Keywords 2DEG, GaAs/AlGaAs, heat flow, electron-phonon, hole-phonon, carrier-phonon, interactions
Abstract The first direct and separate determination of the hot electron and hot hole energy loss rates to the lattice shows unexpectedly large differences between electrons and holes in GaAs quantum wells. This large difference results from an anomalously low electron energy loss rate, which we attribute to the presence of non-equilibrium optical phonon rather than the effects of reduced dimensionality or dynamic screening. A model calculation of hot phonon effects is presented.

Title Determination of the limiting mobility of a two-dimensional electron gas in AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs heterostructures and direct measurement of the energy relaxation time Type Journal Article
Year 1996 Publication (up) Phys. Rev. B Condens. Matter. Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. B Condens. Matter.
Volume 53 Issue 12 Pages R7592-R7595
Keywords 2DEG, AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures
Abstract We present results for a method to measure directly the energy relaxation time (τe) for electrons in a single AlxGa1−xAs/GaAs heterojunction; measurements were performed from 1.6 to 15 K under quasiequilibrium conditions. We find τeαT−1 below 4 K, and τe independent of T above 4 K. We have also measured the energy-loss rate, ⟨Q⟩, by the Shubnikov-de Haas technique, and find ⟨Q⟩α(T3e−T3) for T<~4.2 K; Te is the electron temperature. The values and temperature dependence of τe and ⟨Q⟩ for T<4 K agree with calculations based on piezoelectric and deformation potential acoustic phonon scattering. At 4.2 K, we can also estimate the momentum relaxation time, τm, from our measured τe. This leads to a preliminary estimate of the phonon-limited mobility at 4.2 K of μ=3×107 cm2/Vs (ns=4.2×1011 cm−2), which agrees well with published numerical calculations, as well as with an earlier indirect estimate based on measurements on a sample with much higher mobility.

Title Energy-loss rates for hot electrons and holes in GaAs quantum wells Type Journal Article
Year 1985 Publication (up) Phys. Rev. Lett. Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. Lett.
Volume 54 Issue Pages 2045-2048
Keywords 2DEG, GaAs/AlGaAs, heat flow, electron-phonon, hole-phonon, carrier-phonon, interactions
Abstract We report the first direct determination of carrier-energy-loss rates in a semiconductor. These measurements provide fundamental insight into carrier-phonon interactions in semiconductors. Unexpectedly large differences are found in the energy-loss rates for electrons and holes in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells. This large difference results from an anomalously low electron-energy-loss rate, which we attribute to the presence of nonequilibrium optical phonons rather than the effects of reduced dimensionality or dynamic screening.
