Abstract

Delayed photocurrents were observed in GaAs/AlAs type-I short-period superlattices by measuring time-resolved photoresponses under ultrashort optical pulse excitation. According to the envelope function calculations, the X1 state in AlAs barriers resonates with the Γ2 state in the adjacent GaAs wells at a bias voltage where the delayed photocurrents were conspicuous. These results strongly suggest that the dynamic carrier transport process is significantly influenced by X1-Γ2 resonance effects in the superlattices.
