Abstract

The technique utilizes the capacitive coupling between a pair of Corbino electrodes and a conducting layer placed on top of, and insulated from, the electrodes. Measurements on heterostructures of GaAs/GaAlAs and GaAs/GaInP are reported. The audio-frequency impedance exhibits Shubnikov-deHaas oscillations. These oscillations are used to investigate persistent photoconductivity at 0.635 μm and 1.00 μm illumination. The role played by contacts is discussed.
