Abstract

We report a clear evidence of bistability in the current–voltage characteristics of p-i-n heterostructures containing InGaAs V-shaped quantum wires. The observed phenomenon is explained in the framework of a single carrier transport model in which the quantum wires act like traps for the vertical current. The charge trapping phenomenon is indeed demonstrated by temperature-dependent photocurrent experiments.
