Two dimensional hole gases (2DHG) with high carrier mobilities are required for both fundamental research and possible future ultrafast devices.
Here, two different types of GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures hosting a 2DHG were investigated. The first structure is a GaAs QW embedded in AlGaAs barrier grown by molecular beam epitaxy with carbon-doping only at one side of the QW (single side doped, ssd), while the second structure is similar but with symmetrically arranged doping layers on both sides of the QW (double side doped, dsd).
The ssd-structure shows mobilities up to 1.2*106 cm2/Vs which are achieved only after illumination, while the dsd-structure hosts a 2DHG with mobility up to 1.6*106 cm2/Vs. In addition, mobility and density is not affected by illuminating this sample. Both samples showed distinct Shubnikov-de-Haas oscillations in magnetotransport experiments done at 350mK, indicating the high quality of the material. Further, the influence of different temperature profiles during growth and the influence of the Al content of the barrier AlxGa1−xAs on carrier concentration and mobility were investigated.
