摘要：
Photocarrier relaxation times tau(r) in low-temperature-grown (LTG) GaAs have been determined with time-resolved reflectance measurements. Measured tau(r) values are extremely sensitive to the substrate temperature during LTG GaAs growth and postgrowth anneal. Photogenerated-electron relaxation times as short as 90 fs are found for LTG GaAs grown at temperatures near 200 degrees C and annealed at temperatures below 580 degrees C. We report the results of a systematic investigation of the dependence of tau(r) on growth temperatures between 180 and 260 degrees C and anneal temperatures between 480 and 620 degrees C.
