Anomalous Photoresponse of Heavily Doped GaAs/AlAs Superlattices with Electric Domains

The strong effect of weak interband illumination on tunneling transport in doped GaAs/AlAs superlattices was found under conditions of electric domain formation. The photoresponse at voltages below the threshold one (before the domain formation) did not observe. The phenomenon is referred to strong carrier depletion inside the triangular high-field domain. The domain modes transformations under the illumination were also found.

Population Inversion Induced by Resonant States in Semiconductors

We present a theoretical prediction of a new mechanism for carrier population inversion in semiconductors under an applied electric field. The mechanism is originated from a coherent capture-emission type inelastic scattering of resonant states. We support our theory with concrete calculations for shallow acceptor resonant states in strained p-Ge where a lasing in THz frequency region has been recently observed.
