Negative photoconductance in SiO2(Co)/GaAs heterostructure in the avalanche regime

Abstract

In the avalanche regime we observed the negative photoconductance of heterostructures of silicon dioxide films containing cobalt nanoparticles grown on gallium arsenide, SiO2(Co)/GaAs. Light irradiation with the photon energy less than the bandgap energy of the GaAs creates holes trapped on defects within the GaAs bandgap, suppresses the avalanche feedback and causes a reduction of the current flowing in the SiO2(Co)/GaAs.
