Abstract

Epitaxial films of n-GaAs are studied at helium temperature by means of low-temperature impurity breakdown to study optical and optoelectronic bistabilities. During switching the carrier concentration is found to increase by about one order of magnitude, and the donors become ionized while achieving increased carrier mobility. The bistabilities are shown to be of interest for the design of switching elements that could include memory elements for information processing.
