Abstract

We compare the dynamics of electric field, transport, and coherent phonons in as-grown and annealed low-temperature (LT) GaAs by an electro-optic technique on a subpicosecond time scale. The buildup and decay of space-charge fields associated with the photo-Dember effect are investigated. The recombination dynamics of trapped carriers is monitored via the ps decay of the electro-optic signal. Differences in annealed and as-grown LT GaAs are related to the different microscopic form of excess arsenic and point defect density. In the coherent phonon signal a large red shift of the LO phonon and an additional local vibration below the LO phonon provides information on structural defects in as-grown LT GaAs.
