Abstract
The effect of illumination with various wavelengths λ (770 nm<λ<1120 nm) on the conductivity of GaAs structures with tin δ-doping of the vicinal faces was investigated in the temperature range 4.2–300 K. Negative persistent photoconductivity was found in strongly doped samples. It was shown on the basis of the results of investigations of the Hall and Shubnikov-de Haas effects that the negative photoconductivity is due to a large decrease in the electron mobility with increasing electron density. The decrease of electron mobility is explained by ionization of DX centers, which destroys the spatial correlation in the distribution of positively charged donors and negatively charged DX centers.
