Abstract

The trapping of electrons and holes in self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) has been studied at low temperatures in GaAs/n-AlGaAs heterostructures. It has been found that the concentration N_s of two-dimensional electrons at a given gate voltage V_g is persistently enhanced by laser illumination, because of the trapping of holes by QDs. We also studied how the number of trapped holes depends on the energy of excitation photons from a Ti-sapphire laser. Applications of this device for a memory and near-infrared detector are discussed.
