摘要
In-plane transport in an InAs/GaAs semiconductor hetero-n-i-p-i has been investigated using picosecond transient grating techniques and an order-of-magnitude enhancement of the ambipolar transport relative to that measured in a similar undoped sample has been demonstrated. Both the magnitude and the density dependence of this enhanced transport are consistent with an additional driving force that is associated with an in-plane modulation of the screened n-i-p-i field. This modulation is the result of the spatial separation by perpendicular transport of electrons and holes that also have an in-plane density modulation.
