Abstract
Electric field-induced transient hole transport in an Al 0.3Ga 0.7As-based p-i-n nanostructure has been studied by picosecond Raman spectroscopy at T = 300K. Our experimental results demonstrate that at T = 300K, for a 5-ps excitation laser pulse and a hole density of n h ≅ 5×10 17 cm -3, transient hole drift velocity increases from zero to ≅ (3 ± 0.7)×10 6 cm/sec when the applied electric field intensity increases from E = 0 to 15 kV/cm. The transient hole drift velocity then becomes saturated at ≅ (8 ± 0.8)×10 6 cm/sec for the applied electric field intensity of E ≥ 25 kV/cm and up to 65 kV/cm.
