Effects of nanoscale embedded Schottky barriers on carrier dynamics in ErAs:GaAs composite systems

The sub‐bandgap absorption and ultrafast relaxation in a GaAs/ErAs/GaAs heterostructure are reported. The infrared absorption and 1550 nm‐excited ultrafast photo‐response are studied by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry and time‐domain pump–probe technique. The two absorption peaks located at 2.0 (0.62 eV) and 2.7 µm (0.45 eV) are originated from the ErAs/GaAs interfacial Schottky states and the ErAs itself, respectively. The photo‐excited carrier lifetime, excited using 1550 nm light, is measured to be as low as 190 fs for the GaAs/ErAs/GaAs heterostructure, making it a promising material for 1550‐nm‐technology‐compatible, high critical‐breakdown‐field THz devices. The relaxation mechanism is proposed and the functionality of ErAs is revealed.
